An Insider's view of Coder

What’s the vibe like in the office?

The Coder team is proud of our software and our office vibe reflects that. You'll see people hard at work while jamming to their favorite playlists and brainstorming in huddle rooms. Everyone's voice matters at Coder, so the company founders and executives can be found coding and collaborating alongside the team on the open floor.

Sales Development Representative

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

Remote development has historically been viewed as a subpar alternative to local development. At Coder our goal is to make your remote development workflow indistinguishable from your local workflow, providing you all the benefits of the Cloud without having to give up the tools you love to use in your day-to-day.

Senior Software Engineer

How does the company support your career growth?

Coder wants every team member to be world-class at what they do. One of my favorite perks is the accrued $50/month education budget we each receive. I've taken classes on illustration, design, and hostage negotiation.

Clint Kadera

Head of Design

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

We're very collaborative here at Coder. Whether we're knocking out a blog via Google Docs and Slack, or jumping in a conference room to whiteboard the solution to a problem, collaboration is at the forefront of how we operate.
