The JLabs Story
Our founders started their careers as corporate software engineers. They know what a 9-5 corporate setting is like—time-bound, not flexible, and basically a routine not suitable for a brain draining work. They decided to venture on their own so they can set their own standards, policies, and terms that they think is best for a software engineer, something that will make the work fun, enjoyable, and most importantly, something that will allow them to work when they’re most creative and productive. All that while enjoying a great work-life balance. If that is something you wish to work with, then we invite you to join our team and experience the work-life experience that you deserve.
Cultures & Principles
-
Communicate, communicate, communicate! - We work miles away from each other, and we rarely see each other’s faces. The only thing that binds us is our everlasting communication.
-
Trust the flexibility - We trust that you will do your job properly, in the highest quality, and in a timely manner even when no one’s looking.
-
Document, Template or Automate - Flexibility equates to asynchronous work. To be efficient, we need to document or template every manual work and automate every possible repetitive process that we encounter.
