If you believe you have the right skills and mindset, here is some info about us and the kind of job we offer.
Who we are
WellD is a fast-growing company dedicated to custom software product development, strongly focused on state-of-the-art technology. But most importantly we are a team of cool, down-to-earth and yet highly passionate and qualified devs and engineers.

We version our projects on GitLab, and rely heavily on containerization through Docker, both for development and CI/CD purposes.
How we conceive software dev
We promote Agile Development with a formal process including Code Reviews, Pair Programming, and Continuous Delivery. We care about software quality and have a proper methodology/pipeline to ensure it is always achieved. We do not just-code-it, we design it.
