Every job gets boring over time. But not with Railsware ;)

In our team, we don’t focus on separate tasks but care about the final result of projects. We do what makes sense. Every Railswarian takes responsibility for a small or large project, researches the best way to implement it, consults other team members, acquires necessary skills and knowledge, and gets the job done without reference to specific technologies or tools. This is what we call an inspiring career and a true craft.

Onboarding Flow

The trial period will help you get a better sense of our craft, company culture, work attitude and approaches. You can compare your previous experience to what we built here and feel all the benefits that the team offers. We created a smooth onboarding process to help you adapt faster and tune your work for long-term cooperation. 

Getting to Know More About RW

During the first three months at the company, you’ll be receiving the necessary information through different channels, such as live meetings, video, guides, etc. We split all the information and portion it to allow you both learn how the company operates and work at the same time. 

Pair Work with Colleagues and Coordinator

At Railsware, we work in pairs a lot. Pair sessions will help you understand the products and techniques we use and feel the company’s culture. As a newcomer, you’ll have a Coordinator to support you along the way. With this person you will cooperate the most.

Feedback Sessions

During the trial, we have at least three Feedback sessions after the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month. We can have more sessions, if there’s a need to discuss something. The sessions are designed to let you share your input about yourself and the company and get feedback from people who work with you the most. In particular, we appreciate a fresh look at different processes you are engaged in that we can use to improve our inner processes and make our onboarding process even better.

The End of the Trial

When the time comes to the end of the first three months, we share a decision about passing the trial. If the trial is passed successfully, you’ll have a meeting with the People Team to discuss your further development path. 

Professional Growth

Railsware has gathered a community of professionals from all over the world and created an environment for constant growth. Every Railswarian shares responsibilities for the things we do as well as the success and profit we make. Here’s how we established a constant growth cycle at Railsware.

Individual Development Process

The Individual Development Process (IDP) usually starts 1-3 months after passing the trial. IDP is a place to discuss in which areas you would like to grow during the next year and help you draw a structured plan with well-defined deliverables and goals.

Constant Feedback Sharing

From now on, you’ll participate in many feedback sessions where you can share your thoughts on your cooperation with teammates. Apart from that, you may share your opinion about the company or peers on Retro meetings, IDP review syncs, and one-on-one calls with coordinators or People Team.

Compensation Review and Bonuses

The compensation review process is based on an evaluation of a Railswarian’s contribution to the company’s growth and development. The review includes comprehensive performance assessment and team’s feedback gathering that result in a remuneration review, bonus, or another reward.

At Railsware we have a lot of perks. Some of them are benefits provided by the team. Some are the nice things formed as a result of a great company culture, well-established processes, and a precise hiring process. 

Perks

Best secure hardware and equipment

When joining the team, we would ask you to use our secure hardware only. No worries, it’s going to be great new items, you can choose yourself.

Paid days off

Every country has its own public holidays, so we decided that it’s up to you which one to celebrate. With Railsware, you get in total 34 paid days off per year to have some time for yourself and your family.

Smart Benefits

Health budget

Good health is a key element of an active lifestyle. Railsware helps you maintain it with an extra budget you can spend on what is best for your health at the moment. Be it a meditation app subscription, gym membership, or a yoga mat – all included.

Remote workspace

If you prefer to work from home rather than coworking, you can equip your home workstation and get everything you need to be productive.

Covered educational expenses

At Railsware, we don’t tell you how or what to learn. You get a dedicated sum that you can use to participate in conferences, visit workshops or take courses of your choice.

Flexibility

Remote-friendly environment

You can work almost from any place in the world bringing significant value to the team, influencing company decisions, and growing with us. 

Comfortable hubs

If office vibe is your thing, or you want to meet the team in person, we’ve happy to see you in our Kyiv (Ukraine) and Krakow and Warsaw (Poland) hubs. 

Help with relocation to Poland

In case you want to relocate to Poland, we can help you with the legal aspects, documents, and simply advice from people who were in your shoes.

Our Culture

Outstanding products and services

Our product management approaches are focused on creating outstanding products and services for our customers and all Railswarians.

Great development culture

At Railsware, we’ve established the culture of constant development, so that you can drive your personal growth and evolve in the community of professionals.

Ability to impact decisions

You can contribute to different responsibilities that you are passionate about, and grow beyond your role.

World-class team of professionals

Railsware will never hold you back. Start working with professionals that allow you to experiment, learn and be efficient your way.

Imagine working with a team that embraces experiments, offers various growth opportunities, and encourages your development. This is us. We are self-motivated, responsible specialists who work effectively with no or little supervision but with comprehensive support. All of this is a result of our company culture, which heavily relies on the meticulous hiring process. 

The Railsware team designed a collaborative hiring approach to manage candidates’ expectations regarding future responsibilities even before they join us. It also helps us ensure a candidate shares our values and vision, can efficiently grow in our environment, and will be happy working with us (because a happy specialist makes a productive and creative Railswarian😉).

We look for talents that are great in what they do. Here’s how we do it step by step.

*The process varies depending on the position

Pair Collaboration

Next comes collaboration/s with a Railswarian. 

Pair work is an essential part of our team’s culture. It’s an efficient way to communicate ideas, discuss objections, explain the vision and stay productive as a team. During our pair collaboration, we work together as equal teammates on several hands-on tasks to simulate your future work. The tasks are designed to help you show your knowledge, experience, and best soft and hard skills. It allows both sides to understand if it is a good match.
