A word about our ways of working in the development teams

“Our streamlined and agile operations create a stable, stress-free product environment, fostering a truly distinctive work culture”, as described by the Engineering Manager, and your future team lead Ziad.

We stick to agile practices to support a team-focused way of working. Having a dedicated Test Automation Engineer means we can always count on our work being high-quality and smoothly integrated from start to finish.

Our release cycle is all about being agile. It's not something out of the ordinary, but it's what many aim for – and we've made it work really well. We like to get things out fast, releasing almost every day, so that anything that's ready goes live right away. But, we don't rush things at the cost of quality. Instead, we take extra time to make sure everything is just right.

Our name "Refined" really shows what we're all about. We put quality first, making sure every release is up to our high standards, without rushing – making our environment stress-free.

2. Curiosity and perspective: Beyond just filling knowledge gaps, you possess a natural curiosity that drives you to ask questions and challenge existing methods. Your ability to bring different perspectives, based on your experiences, contributes to innovative problem-solving and exploratory thinking, especially when addressing customer queries or urgent issues.

5. Technical proficiency: Your technical skill set includes proficiency in JavaScript-based front-end frameworks (React, Vue.js), Node.js, relational databases (particularly PostgreSQL), and working with REST APIs. A commitment to code quality, security, and performance aligns with our standards.
