Giant Swarm’s mission is to provide the power and freedom to build the cloud-native applications that run our world

Self Organization

Creative work needs freedom and openness. We expect passion and encourage sustainability. If you need rest, take it. We don't count holidays or work hours - we count outcomes. We trust our employees to know how to bring out their best.

Teamwork

Our ambitious goals are only achievable as a team. Everybody’s input is welcome, appreciated and encouraged. Always question the status quo and find new ways of getting us closer to our goal.

Learning

We support you beyond your job. As such we support your learning as it applies to both your hard skills and your soft skills.

Basics for applicants

We offer fair (transparent and open) salaries. We provide benefits like choosing your own laptop, public transportation ticket, as well as a stock options program. Have we mentioned that you can work from anywhere?

Onsite

While most companies hold an offsite once in a while. At Giant Swarm, a fully remote company, we do periodic onsites. During this time we all gather in one place, each time at a different location. During onsites, we escape the daily routine, focus on key problem areas, and bond as a team.

Where we work

Work is where we get work done. Work when and wherever you want. Many team members are currently working from tech hubs but this is up to their personal preferences.

Daily tools

Some tools are universal to all of us like: Slack and Google Hangouts. Others are more specialized to your job. If you are a developer you'll be using:  GitHub, Huboard, CLIs, and your editor of choice. Sales and marketing will lean heavily on Hubspot and Google Apps.

Work-life fill-in-the-blank

Whether you are single or not, a parent or child-free, we believe that work is part of life, but should not take life over. We encourage you to live your fullest, unapologetically. So do what you love, both in work and in life.

Meetings

Meetings at Giant Swarm serve two purposes - getting things done and enabling a closeness and familiarity in a fully remote company. Recurring meetings are daily standups as well as weekly meetings for retro and planning.

Conferences/MeetUps

We regularly attend conferences and meetups as well as speak at them. We keep people posted on our whereabouts on social media and our monthly newsletter. Come see us sometime.
