We are a 100% remote company and were remote-first from the start. We value your time, having a single 15 minute standup everyday leaving the rest of the day free for work on projects that you enjoy. You don't need to work a set schedule - we promote asynchronous work and only expect you to provide a 4 hours overlap with UTC 9am-5pm timeframe for team communication and collaboration.

We strive to care for all our employees which includes paid time off: vacation and base country public holidays.

How we hire

At ggCircuit, we believe that in order to build the best products, we need to build high impact teams. Initial selection will be followed by a 30 minute conversational-style interview where we will talk more about the company, workflow and its products as well as ask you to tell us about things you have been working on for the last few years. This will be followed by a 45-60 minute technical interview to discuss how you approach certain problems and gain insight into your problem-solving skills as well as general tech experience.

We understand that it's important for you to be working with projects that are exciting but only if you are paid according to your skill and experience level. We certainly want ggCircuit to be an upgrade from your current/previous position.
