What our people say

Athanasios B., Software Engineer: "An environment that keeps me thrilled and passionate about software, was always a goal in my professional career. IptiQ absolutely fulfills this with a high level of technical expertise, high-quality engineers, and colleagues with great values - a great working environment. And the feeling of building something meaningful that grows so fast including all the technical challenges make every day at work special."

Amish A., Data Engineer: "IptiQ is a truly international company with people from all corners of the world. Here, your character matters more than just your technical skills. It's a very transparent organization providing opportunities and time to grow in your professional career as well."

Joost van W., Head Test Engineering: "It's a very international company, reflected in the operating markets and the people working with us - they come from all over the world. Everyone is extremely motivated to make each project a success, and together I feel we can tackle any challenge. Each of us can have a real impact on company results. As engineers, we get a lot of freedom to contribute solutions, and help set the direction for the platform. For example, we switched our main language to Kotlin, based on input by our engineers, democratically decided during our Tech Forum meeting. Any good idea can find a place here, you just have to make it happen!"

Our Culture

We really focus on having an engineering culture where everyone's opinion matters. We work with bleeding-edge technology stack keeping constantly an eye (even two) on best practices, writing effective and maintainable code that allows us to scale anytime, anywhere. We moved from Java to Kotlin based on a team decision during a technology all-hands. We value the person more than anything else. We don't look for smart-arse people: we look for nice team players that are friendly and pragmatic.
