About CANDIS GmbH

What We Do

We are a fintech startup, working in an area ripe for disruption: accounting and bookkeeping. CANDIS uses Artificial Intelligence to automate tedious financial processes (think: collecting invoices, data entry, pre-account assignment, and payments) for small and medium-sized companies. We use Machine Learning to automate accounting processes, automate accounting workflows, and empower companies with real-time data and insights to make better financial choices.

Why Work For Us

We are currently in a very exciting transition phase as we move from start-up to scale-up, with fantastic VC backing supporting our growth into new markets and new product areas. Over the next 5 years, we plan to be present across the EU, enabling small and medium businesses to make better financial decisions (and better use of their time) through automated processes and insights.

As a member of the Product & Tech team, you will have a direct impact on our success as a company. You'll work alongside a fantastic group of smart, curious, funny people to solve real-world problems and improve the lives of our users.

We believe in your growth, too! With bi-weekly Personal Development Days, Learning & Development budget, and a culture of mentorship and knowledge-sharing, we encourage you to use your time at CANDIS to become better at whatever it is you're passionate about. Your success is our success!

Our Culture

We live by one simple phrase: YES WE CANDIS!

• YES: Positive Thinking & Persistence - “Optimists find solutions, pessimists find problems.” And we know: there is always a solution.
• WE: Collaboration & Humanity - The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. We act as a company, but respect each person. We are empathetic and humble.
• CAN: Learning & Improving - “Try. Learn. Improve.” We accept that we do not know everything and act fast to become better.
• DIS: Focus & Ownership - We execute with clear focus and make sure that tasks are delivered.

Our Engineering Processes

We follow Scrum and Agile methodologies, and are currently organized into four cross-functional teams. These consist of Front- and Backend Developers, Data Scientists, Product Managers, Designers, and more.

Our Hiring Process

We know your time is valuable, and we want every interview step to be a chance for you to learn more about CANDIS as well. After all, in the end it should be a great fit on both sides!

• 1. People Operations screening call (30 min) - You'll meet with Geneva, our Senior Technical Recruiter, to talk about your career goals and motivations, your experience, and what you value you in a team.
• 2. Pair Programming session (45 min) - This is a low-pressure coding session where you will work together with two of our senior developers to solve a series of problems in a language of your choosing. We want to understand how you approach problems, how you talk through your solutions, and what it's like to work with you!
• 3. Technical Interview (60-90 min) - This interview will focus on your experience as well as your knowledge of various technical topics (architecture, software quality, domain driven design, etc.). It's also a great opportunity for you to ask your most burning technical questions about CANDIS.
  
• 4. Final Interview (30 min) - Depending on who you've met at this point in the process, you may also have a final 1:1 call with your future Team Lead. If you've already met earlier on, and had a chance to chat, it's possible we may skip this step.

That's right - no take-home assignments or code challenges. :)

We look forward to meeting you!
