We’re in the business of bringing new ideas to life. It is our responsibility—our commitment to our clients—to exceed their expectations. As we all know, this mandate never comes without a price.

There are numerous, glorious (and even more inglorious) battles to fight against technical obstacles, internal/external resistance and, sometimes, even against the customer.

If you feel driven to exceed customer expectations and develop yourself as a software wizard, join us in our quest.

Leonidas develops software that matters. Our customers are industry-leading multinationals and startups positioned to create substantial value for their own customers using IT solutions. Our core competence lies in understanding the value-creation mechanisms of our customers. We create superior solutions by exploiting years of experience in agile methodologies, alongside technical excellence and business acumen. Our operations concentrate on Web and mobile domains and technologies.

Interested? Let’s see how you can become a part of our team.

Passion rules the game. As I have met people from different walks of life—be it teachers, software developers or architects— I have found one thing those making a difference have in common: passion. It’s that drive—that inner urge to create something new or improve something old. When you have it, there’s nothing that can stop you.

We’re looking for people with passion.

Understanding is essential. Let me clarify this a bit: You need to be able to understand what those things are that create value for the customer. I know they didn’t teach you that in school—they taught you how to write code. Well, in our world, writing code is not enough. Every developer makes hundreds of decisions every day. Some of them are major; some are minor; but every single decision is potentially meaningful. In order to make good decisions, the developer has to be able to understand the context and the dynamics of value creation.

We’re looking for people who understand.

Knowledge of preferred technologies and experience, however, do give you an edge in the interview. Currently, we’re looking for developers who are familiar with Ruby on Rails, Java and mobile frameworks. Now, if you have 3-5 years (or more) of relevant work experience accompanied with references and a spectacular track record, let us know you exist.

We’re primarily looking for people with relevant work experience.

The next step? Just send me an open application, and we’ll see how it goes. :)

Some tips:

- There are a million places that describe how to make an impression during the job interview. Check out at least one of those.

- Rehearse what you’re going to say…  before you come to the interview.

- Bring a piece of code with you, and prepare to explain what you have done.
