Joining our R&D team might be one of the best ways to develop new skills as a software engineer.

We work in small teams with simple yet efficient processes that include peer code reviews, maintaining project documentation, and minimal reporting. You’ll be dealing with a flow of relatively small projects that usually take up to six months to complete by a team of 2-3 engineers. Of course, you’ll be working on one primary project at a time. So far, everything has been built by LeanyLabs from scratch, including our convenient seed project that helps get things started quickly. We’re pretty strict with the tech stack: TypeScript, Node.js + React.js in the core, preferably AWS deployment and PostgreSQL database. Usually, the team has control over choosing the best technologies. Most applications also include some integration with exciting third-party systems and APIs.

Our clients vary from small businesses needing a tool to get things done or develop a small product MVP to well-known unicorns requiring custom systems to automate their processes further. Either way, we prefer dynamic startups and their culture over digging into the enormous ancient enterprise software and endlessly attending pointless meetings.

LeanyLabs is a team of professionals, so we have near-zero bureaucracy and heavily invest in learning.
