Developers
(Work Remotely from anywhere in the World)

X-Team

Job Description:

X-Team is an international company founded in Melbourne, Australia, that helps companies scale their development teams by providing them with extraordinary teams of developers from around the world.

We are 100% remote and believe in building a world where developers can have access to an environment of growth and incredible opportunities regardless of where they live.

We are also a community of people dedicated to unleashing our potential. We’ve fostered a unique, active lifestyle and culture around this idea that continues to attract thousands of developers to apply every day.

We proactively support our developers, fund their learning and growth, connect them in roaming hacker housesaround the world, and give them a remote environment that motivates and inspires them on a daily basis. While other companies merely place and drop their talent, we provide unified teams of developers centered around the same beliefs, values, and lifestyle.

We’re uniquely situated to help shape how companies grow their businesses in the digital age and aid them in being able to do so properly with the right people. We work with big brands like Riot Games, Fox Broadcasting, Kaplan Inc., Coinbase, Google, Twitter and more…

Job Responsibilities:

Each team in X-Team operates differently. Generally though, most teams work in an agile style with some form of daily standup (whether synchronous or asynchronous), a PM tool like Jira, and a TDD workflow.

Specifics regarding other team members, such as project managers or designers, will always vary, but all X-Teamers can attest to being on well-managed projects and teams.

What hours am I expected to work?

When we have an opportunity to offer you, we’ll discuss what time overlap our partner is looking for. That said, X-Team places a high priority on respectful, flexible scheduling and makes that clear to our partners before working with them.

Job Requirements:

Currently, the most common skills we hire for are: JavaScript (React, Angular, Node), PHP (Laravel, Symfony), Java, Python, and Ruby on Rails. Experience with Docker or AWS is a plus. We are only interested in experienced developers.

Will I be supported while working on my team’s projects?

At our core, we are a developer-centric company. Once you join one of our partner teams, both our core team and our community will be there to support you every step of the way. Our developers often tell us how much they appreciate being part of such a supportive community of people motivating one another to learn, grow and unleash their potential.

Each developer also gets their own personal “Unleasher”, a mentor dedicated to helping you grow. In addition, your Unleasher will provide you with the funding you need to achieve that growth. It’s an entirely different atmosphere at X-Team than any other developer community.Our community is also often meeting together at conferences and meetups (as well as our roaming hackerhouse, the X-Outpost).When it comes to working with our partners, all you have to worry about is executing great work for them and then we handle the rest. We even pay our developers on a bi-weekly basis, which is pretty unheard of.

What hours am I expected to work?

What happens when my engagement comes to an end? Am I out of work?

Three scenarios can happen when a project comes to an end:

1. We’ll line up another opportunity for you to move on to after your current project ends. This is actually the most common scenario and what we’ll be aiming for once you join our community.

2. So long as you’ve committed to learning and growing and have kept your skills current throughout your time in X-Team, we will continue investing in you and keep you onboard for up to 3 months until we have a new opportunity for you. Other developer communities don’t invest in you like this, but it’s important to us.

3. If your skillset no longer aligns with what companies are looking for on their teams, we’ll part ways until we’re able to offer you a new opportunity that aligns well with your experience. This isn’t as common in X-Team, as we work hard to motivate you to always be learning and growing so that your skills will always remain marketable.

My availability is complicated, should I wait until I’m completely free before applying?

We’re most interested in developers who could begin work no later than a month out, but we can start the vetting process ahead of time as well.

Do you have any junior level positions or apprenticeships?

Currently no, but we’d certainly love to someday.

Do you have any part-time positions available?

All X-Team positions are full-time.

How long does your vetting/interview process take?

It varies depending on our immediate needs and how quickly you respond to our questions and requests. On average, it can take 1-3 weeks.

More importantly though, after a decade of interviewing developers, we’ve learned how important it is to respect people’s time. We will only ever ask for more of your time if we think you are a potential good fit, rather than waste your time going through unnecessary hoops.
