General requirements
If you would like to join Tunnll’s team you are able to demonstrate
(all the requirements below can be satisfied by default if you have
completed a relevant BSc/MSc degree):
Workplace requirements
Remote and distributed teams enjoy great flexibility in terms of
where from and when the team members do their work. You can even work
with your laptop from a beach in Thailand,
but it is very important that the workplace conditions stay reliable
and uninterrupted. All remote team members in Tunnll are required to
organize their workplaces to meet the following requirements:
- The workplace should be a single, ideally separated room with no interruptions by noises, other people, etc.
- To allow uninterrupted video calls, a headset/microphone with a noise cancellation feature should be used.
- The workplace should be connected to a stable high-speed internet
connection (at least 100 MB/s) ideally backed up with a secondary
connection for redundancy.
- The working computer should have at least 16GB of RAM for engineers and designers and at least 8GB for the rest of roles.
- The working computer should be properly maintained on a regular
basis (security updates, disk cleanup, antivirus checks, dust cleaning,
etc.).
Compensation levels
Initial proposal
The size of the proposed compensation may depend on your experience,
demonstrated professional skills and your communication skills. For
entry-level positions (no or small experience) we may find it reasonable
to propose a level of compensation which is typical for your current
location (example).
Growing the compensation rate as we work together
We are interested in investing in long-term relationships and that is
why all compensations are subject to regular increases based on factors
like gained experience, overall time spent in the company, number of
new books read over the working period and number of the successfully
completed online courses.
Remote or not?
Tunnll is a 100% remote-friendly workplace, but if your preference is
teamwork in a modern and comfortable office in a great location, we
would be glad to accommodate you in one of our focus locations
(currently Barcelona, Spain and Sweden/UK coming soon).
Why this position is cool
- Remote from day one. Tunnll has been a remote setup
from day one. This means we know what is good for being remote and how
to overcome the shortcomings of the distributed setup.
- Flexible schedule. You can work 9 to 5 or at night
or early in the morning – or at any other time slots suitable for you as
long as they overlap with the working hours of the rest of the team;
- Interesting and meaningful projects. You will work on projects that matter and which make people’s lives better;
- High-quality tools provided. We provide all team
members with full access to the high-quality productivity and
development products from Microsoft (Office 365, SharePoint, Visual
Studio Enterprise, etc.).
- We pay for your education. As a part of this position you can get your online education expenses reimbursed (Coursera, Safari Books Online, Xamarin University).
- Holiday allowance. When you take days off for the
official holidays in your country or just because you don’t feel well,
we do not cut your compensation, it stays the same.
- Informal and flexible atmosphere. Do you have a suit? Good, you do not need one at this position;
- Your voice can be heard. The more experience you accumulate over time, the more freedom in decision making you will get.
Why you should join
We are a team with a flat organizational structure with each team member doing tasks he or she really enjoys doing. Please, check out the Open positions page to know more about how our team works.
Would like to know even more? You can read about what we do and how we do it by reading our Twitter, Facebook or the News and Blog
pages or by simply searching the Web for “Tunnll”. There is a quite a
decent amount of news and mentions of Tunnll from various newspapers,
media outlets, and other sites.
Whom we expect to see in the team
We prefer to enhance our team with self-organized generalists
because they tend to perform more efficiently compared to a specialist
in ever-changing situations. That means that it is absolutely ok if you
lack some specific skills in your CV, but it also means that the range
of the tasks assigned to you will be very broad.
