Summary

What We Do

@planet is a technology acceleration and consulting firm. We help software and technology businesses meet the demands of Internet markets and realise exceptional value through adoption of scalable, cloud-centric compute architecture. We empower software teams to release faster, automate their infrastructure and build high quality internal tools.

Our Engineering Processes

We design and implement solutions to our clients' problems, and we lean on our collective engineering talent to achieve big goals. We are technology agnostic, so if you want to build an API with Node.js, a bot with Go, or a data integration tool with Python, just motivate it and create a proof of concept. Our engineers are trusted, heard and empowered.

Why Work For Us

A traditional working environment we do not have - no office, no commute, no fixed hours. Like the tools we use, our team and working model are decentralised and distributed. Our organisation is remote by default. We work asynchronously and characterise ourselves as dependable, client-centric problem solvers.

Our Hiring Process

Engineering prowess, communication, experience and diversity form the values for which we hire. We'll chat with you online or in-person to explore whether we would be a good fit for you and vice versa. After that, we'll typically give you carte blanche to solve a real engineering problem. If all goes well, you'll join and begin contributing to one or more current projects.
