Careers

Do work that reaches real users.

We build production software for real users, in small Pods, since 2007. What you ship matters here. Where you sit does not.

Meet us

We are a distributed team of designers, engineers, QA specialists, delivery managers, and operators, building digital products since 2007 from Barranquilla and wherever our people live. Respect and discipline shape how we work.

Our team is our greatest asset, and we pride ourselves on creating a culture where employees feel challenged, valued, and inspired. Over time, Koombea has established a reputation for being a great place to work, and we are extremely proud of that.
Jonathan Tarud Koombea CEO

Remote first

We hire where the talent is, not where a building is. Pods are put together across time zones, and the work is organized around that rather than in spite of it.

That shows up in how a day actually runs. Decisions land in writing so nobody has to be awake to be included, and you are measured on what you ship rather than on the hours a tracker recorded.

  • Async by default, with decisions written down
  • Enough overlap with your Pod to pair, review, and unblock
  • Judged on the work, not on time at a desk
  • Set your own hours around the people you build with

Koombea's team

Every Pod is cross-disciplinary, so whichever of these is your craft, you work next to the other seven every day. We hire people who care about the product behind the ticket and write their decisions down.

  • UI/UX Design
  • Mobile Development
  • Sales and Marketing
  • Project Management
  • Front-End Development
  • Quality Assurance
  • DevOps
  • Back-End Development

The team

We get together when it helps and work apart the rest of the time. Either way, the work happens in the open.

    Working a problem Small groups, one screen, decisions made in the room or in the thread.
  • Three Koombea teammates at a round table with laptops open, turning to the camera
    Pods, not departments Design, engineering, and QA on the same problem at the same time.
  • Four Koombea teammates in conversation across two desks, laptops open between them
    Getting together Time in the same place is a choice, not a condition of the job.
