  • Use functional programming (we use cats, cats-effect, fs2, refined, and slick)

  • Model complex data structures and express them in a relational way (we use MySQL)

  • Bring crystal clarity to complex and ambiguous ideas and projects.

  • Communicate feedback, expectations and information in clear and kind ways, both written and spoken (we’re over 40 different nationalities, and our company language is English)

  • Learn super fast, be open-minded and ready to adapt our technology, teams and ways-of-working as Famly scales in brave new directions.

  • Make your teammates shine by supporting each other to learn and grow.
