Interesting projects: we create products for travelers, travel agents, and hoteliers worldwide. Results are paramount, so we provide freedom to achieve them: flexible schedule, remote or office – you decide where and when to work. We communicate openly, make decisions at engineering quorums, and discuss all issues in the corporate messenger. We take a non-standard approach to work and try new things. For example, a bot and an AI-based coding companion help us solve some tasks. "You are your own CEO" – an important principle of our work. It means that everyone feels as free in their area of responsibility as if it were their own business: independently sets priorities, chooses solutions to tasks, and is not afraid to act. Ostrovok! Tech technical community holds meetups, hackathons, participates in conferences, and supports any, even the boldest ideas. We help employees speak at professional conferences: from submitting applications to preparing presentations. Our office near Novoslobodskaya metro station in Moscow has everything for comfortable work and rest. And at least once a month, we have parties! We care about the well-being of our team: from the first month of work, our employees have VHI (Voluntary Health Insurance) and discounts at "Yasno" service. Additionally, we provide an extra paid day off MyTime Day Off, which can be used at your discretion – to dedicate time to your well-being and health or to handle personal matters. Growth and development of each person is our priority. We have internal adaptation and training programs, development of soft skills and leadership skills, tailored individually for each employee. In the travel industry, it's difficult to grow without excellent English, so we support its study: we provide discounts on Skyeng courses. We have corporate rates on hotels and other travel services – so our employees travel more often. Ostrovok is an accredited IT company.
