Imagine if your work transformed an entire industry, all while helping achieve a more sustainable future.
That’s the kind of work we do here, at Pandas.
Our mission? To push the mobile device ecosystem to 100% circularity — where for every 1 device that is bought, another 1 is traded in — just as easily.
We are an agile tech startup backed by industry pioneers. We develop state-of-the-art software and hardware that redefines how customers and businesses think about the lifecycle of mobile devices. We foster a culture of innovation in everything we do, all while ensuring a vibrant and fun workplace.
Does your heart beat faster reading these lines? Then we want you on our team!
Join us in reshaping the future of the mobile tech industry.
About our Engineering Team:
✅ We like to experiment (since we’re innovating sometimes, it makes sense) with new technologies and stacks, but for now, we’ve settled with:
- TypeScript – Next.js (end-to-end)
- Prisma ORM - Planetscale
✅ We like to use:
- React – Tailwind CSS (latest versions) for our frontend needs
- We leverage Next.js (also latest versions) for its amazing routing system, caching, SSR support, and better DX overall
✅ We keep our backend functions as lean as possible (again, same argument applies: we’re innovating in the ways we store our assessments, our tests, and so on) because we like to move fast. This is why we have our backend deployed using:
- Serverless functions on Vercel (also using Next.js)
✅ We believe that innovation, continuous iterations, and resilience are what move the needle forward.
We encourage open communication, as full transparency is what makes us better.
We value inclusion and diversity and promote an all-hands-on-deck culture in everything we do.
We value synergy, purposeful work, and a flywheel way of thinking and doing.
We work with agility, adapting and responding quickly to change.
