Did you know that about 37% of people say that they have a “bullshit job” and about 60% of people on average feel disengaged from their work? Did you know that, despite all the advances in technology for online job search in the last 25 years, today the average time a person is unemployed is still about the same as in 1995 when the internet was just getting started? Why has technology not helped with this problem which is especially severe today?At Chance, we believe that this is because job search is not only a technological problem for both candidates and employers. That’s why we’re building a unique solution that mixes psychology, data science and cutting edge front end technology and design.Technologies evolve over time for good reason. We try out new technologies all the time, embrace the good ones quickly and adapt them to our business cases. Today, this means we use TypeScript and do GraphQL requests, tomorrow it could be something different and more powerful.We're a team that values weekly releases, code quality, guidelines, CI, and testing. We ship aggressively, we test things, we iterate. We consider the aesthetic beauty, readability and consistent standards of the code as important as shipping it. Because beautiful and readable code is scalable code.We're a quickly growing company. Spending time and effort everyday in a stagnating company is no fun. See how we grow everyday and thrive at the same speed by solving different problems every week. We target such as wide market that variety is king in our day to day tasks. You won't get bored by owning the same small chunks of a codebase for years.We are revolutionising the job market. That requires us to work on problems never solved before, problems that constantly challenge technology limitations. Due to the nature of our product, it's fundamental for us to work in multidisciplinary teams with domain experts that would never be in a regular product team. Embrace their skills and broaden your knowledge.Last but most important, you have real, tangible, impact on people everyday. Every week we receive feedback from people about how impactful the experience has been for them. Your code reaches people deeply in their heart and helps them find a better future.PERKS AT WORK
