Careers
We hire slowly and expect people to stay
We are around fifty people in Islamabad and working remotely across four countries. We hire slowly, pay above local market, and expect people to stay — average tenure here is over four years.
How we work
What it is actually like here
Written plainly, because everyone claims a great culture and the specifics are what distinguish one.
Seniority is not a title
The person who scopes the work builds it. No pyramid staffing, no juniors learning on a client's budget without support.
Real working hours
Crunch is a planning failure, not a badge. If a project needs weekends, we re-plan it — we do not quietly expect them.
You will be trusted early
New engineers ship to production in their first fortnight, with review. Waiting six months to touch anything real teaches nobody anything.
Learning is on the clock
One paid day a month for learning, a conference budget, and certifications paid for. On work time, not yours.
