About The Position
Hi! 👋
We are a Python and JS/TS software house that specializes in developing unique products and composable systems.
Founded in 2009, starting with a few people in a tiny office, but with huge ambition and dreams to do something meaningful in the software industry, not only commercially.
We transform businesses by delivering sustainable, API-first (while not always easy to achieve, it’s worthwhile), efficient and modern solutions. We empower businesses of all sizes, from high-volume online retailers to disruptive innovators mentioned on the Forbes Next Billion Dollar Startups list. 🔥
One of the most essential things at Mirumee is that our culture is centered around people and open source. We are active members of the open source community, creating Ariadne, a schema-first GraphQL server library for Python, eagerly sharing our knowledge as mentors and speakers at events across the globe and creating the biggest GraphQL Meetup in Poland and beyond.
We care about technical excellence, open communication, and treating each other with respect as equal human beings. The Principal Developers team is extremely important- it's where role models come from. Our heroes are Anton (QA), Jan (Frontend), Paweł (Backend&Saleor) and Wojciech (Product&Frontend). You will work directly with the CEO, COO and other department leaders also. 🦹
We try to keep our recruitment process brief, but some steps need to happen:
1. Screening with one of our Recruiters.
2. Interview with Paweł (mentioned above) and Michał (COO).
3. Meeting the whole Principals team.
4. Offer meeting.

Mirumee people say
Aside from the obvious, which is the extremely close-knit and wonderful people, working at Mirumee is a great flexibility. Both in terms of the ability to come to the office or work remotely (including workation trip), but also to develop your competencies. The icing on the cake is the unique organizational culture that everyone cares about - regardless of seniority or position.
This is where I met my "programming heroes", but also those who have become my friends. Thanks to the continuous exchange of knowledge, I know that programming is not just frontend and backend ;). I take on challenges and get out of my comfort zones because I want to, not because I have to, and I appreciate Mirumee for giving me a space to just be myself. I get a constant motivation to be a better programmer, but also a more open-minded person.
I think that you should always do things you love and constantly strive for a better self. I've been working at Mirumee for several years but I still feel that I am evolving and broadening my horizons. Working in a friendly atmosphere with people I can always count on reinforces my belief that I am exactly where I should be.
