We value simple, clean and performant solutions. We embrace automation and robust designs, but we’re always cautious not to fall into the trap of over-engineering.
We’re looking for someone with prior experience in deploying and running production services on AWS, Google Cloud, or similar. You should understand networking, databases, implications of the CAP theorem, the kinds of tradeoffs involved in different solution stacks, and so forth. You should probably have an opinion on Docker.
Our cloud services revolve around our sync infrastructure, and have gradually grown to include a push server and our Mail to Things service. They are written in multiple languages, both scripting and compiled. We care much more about general abilities than knowledge of specific languages or frameworks. You’ll have to show us that you’re able to quickly learn and adapt to these different environments. Tell us what awesome things you’ve done in the past, and send us something that shows off your abilities.
If you’ve worked on a similar sounding project and can send us sample code, even better! Alternatively – or additionally – you’re invited to download our sample project, follow the instructions inside, and then send us your implementation.
Our office is in Stuttgart, so if you’re looking for an opportunity to spend some time in the heart of Europe, fantastic, we have a desk waiting for you! Otherwise, you’re welcome to work remotely, like many of us already do.
Ultimately, Cultured Code is a place where you’ll have an opportunity to do something excellent, and we aim to employ people who want to strive for that as part of a team. If you share our values and have a great skill-set then we hope you’ll get in touch!
We’ll start processing applications on March 13, with interviews following shortly after. If you only found out about this position a bit late, don’t hesitate to apply anyway. We’ll be able to review new applications until the end of March.

COMPANY INFO
At Cultured Code, we’re passionate about productivity, simplicity, and beautiful design. Things is our award-winning combination of these three interests into one fine product. It is used by customers around the world to manage their lives. Headquartered in Stuttgart, southern Germany, we’re a truly international team of nine – with employees also hailing from Poland, Australia, Brazil, Czechia, and Canada. Our company language is English.
After more than a decade on the market, Things is a well-established product and a leader in its genre. Things 3 – our third major version – was released nearly three years ago and went on to win the Apple Design Award. We’ve released eleven big updates since then, with our next now in beta. We’d like to expand our team to keep up the pace, and to make our best-in-class sync even better.
This is an exciting time to be at Cultured Code – we have some great plans for the future and many challenging things to work on. We hope you’ll consider joining our team and being part of our story!
