About Us

We are an open-source feature flag and remote configuration platform used by engineering teams to safely release and manage software features. It allows companies to turn features on or off for different users, environments, or customer segments without redeploying code. This enables faster releases, safer rollouts, A/B testing, and gradual feature rollouts, especially in high-scale or high-risk environments like fintech, healthcare, and enterprise SaaS. We help companies ship software faster while reducing release risk and improving control over product experimentation.

Our 100% remote, global team is deeply rooted in engineering and built for people who want to make a tangible impact rather than being a cog in a machine. Fueled by rapid growth and exceptional customer retention, we are actively expanding our engineering team and looking for passionate technophiles to join our journey.

We are looking for someone who wants to put their computer science foundation to work from day one. You are motivated by real problems and real customers. You enjoy debugging unexpected behavior, diving deep into technical issues, and want to develop a strong understanding of modern software development through the lens of feature flagging. You are excited by the challenge of working with multiple technologies and programming languages.
