You will work with team members around the world and across time zones to build a better culture and product. We organize a couple of company retreats per year to spend quality time with the whole team. Our latest retreats have been a day trip to Bratislava and a full week in the beautiful alps of Tyrol.

Working at Grape

We value high code quality in terms of readability, reusability and maintainabilty the same way we value speed and efficiency of development. We prefer composition over inheritance, functional over object oriented.

We value participation in open source. We are not just using open source projects, we try to give some‐ thing back. We encourage developers to release reusable parts of their code under an open source license.

We use two-weekly Scrum sprints and daily standups (in the chat) for planning.

Tools and libraries we use (to name a few):

• Babel (ES2015, stage-0)
• Webpack
• React and Redux
• Electron
• JSS
• react-virtualized
• Format.JS
