About JourneyApps

What we do

JourneyApps is a software platform to build and run industrial-grade custom apps, that work responsively across mobile devices, computers, web browsers and wearable devices like RealWear.

JourneyApps is a full-stack platform covering the full spectrum of an app stack: An unrivalled web IDE (OXIDE), an app runtime, and a built-in cloud backend with a serverless computing engine.

The platform features industrial-grade capabilities, such as voice-driven capabilities for RealWear, PowerSync for full offline operation of apps, and a smart hardware integration engine.

Companies in industries such as energy, manufacturing, mining and chemicals use JourneyApps to create and run powerful business applications.

Why work for us

JourneyApps is scaling rapidly, with large global customers building and running apps on our platform. Some of the largest companies in the world that form the backbone of the global economy rely on JourneyApps for core parts of their business operations.

We are headquartered in the United States with an engineering hub in South Africa. We are always looking for talented people to join our team who share our passion for our vision.

Our culture

The core values that guide the JourneyApps team are:

Cooperation = unite + win:
Work together, win together. We take collective ownership of our mission; there’s no “them” — just “us”.

Autonomy = trust + own:
We are a group of exceptional people and we trust every member of our team to be excellent at their job, to do the right thing, and to do what’s best for our team — wherever, whenever.

Growth = learn + communicate:
The better we communicate, the more we can learn from each other. We spread new ideas, give feedback, and provide all the facts so we can learn and grow together.

Ambition = dream + excel:
We go above and beyond to produce excellent work and get real results. We care deeply about where the company is going, give urgency to all the tasks at had, and get our hands dirty. We try new things, make mistakes, and learn — fast.

Encouragement = help + care:
We go the extra mile for every member of the JourneyApps community — both customers and team members — and encourage others to do so too. We are always approachable, helpful, and supportive.

Social = fun + friendly:
We have strong social cohesion, through friendly, fun and funny team members. We laugh together, we keep things light, and we always see the bright side.

Our Engineering Processes

We score 11/12 on the Joel Test.

Our Hiring Process

Our hiring process consists of four steps to determine whether you are a good fit for JourneyApps, and whether we are a good fit for you:

1) We do a 20-minute phone screening to validate what you're looking for matches what we need.

2) We then do a 60-minute phone interview discussing non-domain specific topics where we test your macro-skills covering topics such as system design, approaches to debugging, etc.

3) Then there is a take-home micro-skills coding challenge whereby you need to build a very basic app on the JourneyApps platform (typically does not take candidates more than 3 days if they have JavaScript experience).

4) An in-person interview with your prospective team leader in our office so that you can meet the team you'll be working with on a daily basis.
