Currently we have two teams, composed by six and four software developers. One team is working on the payment-interface systems while the other one is more concentrated on refund and invoicing stuff along with the CRM application used by the contact center in St. Gallen. We are actively working every day in order to reduce complexity in everything we touch and how we are organized is not an exception: we are fully committed to improve the collaboration beetwen the two teams reducing the number of systems by deleting dead code and deeply reorganizing our architecture. Our ambition is to have fun at work every day and grow as a well balanced team. Our two system engineers work in close contact with software developers in order to always consider all aspects of a story development. In order to protect our developers from interruptions we have a team we call "Fireman", that gives precious support to the customer contact center in St. Gallen and that manages all daily business activity. We avoid bureaucracy – because we need our energy to be available to our business. It is important for us to continuously improve and learn, and we therefore nurture a culture of learning from each other and we are not afraid of hiring people smarter than us. We expect to grow by another two developers / system engineers during this year. We believe in agile values, overall in releasing little steps of profitable value.
