Our Culture
For us, the foundation of an evolving culture is based on openness, diversity, and the ability to adapt. We think embracing our differences is vital for productivity, quality, and growth. Our people are our most important asset. We treat each other with respect.
We believe company culture should follow the same principles as open-source culture. Therefore, we have decided to make most of our internal documentation public.
Our product engineering team works together with one common goal in mind — creating great and highly-valuable products.
Product and tech mean the same thing for us — we follow DDD principles. We use event storming and event modeling along with design thinking and agile UX process to concept and specify epics.
Our tech stack is built on a variety of technologies from the latest tech trends to proven tools and frameworks, including Kotlin, TypeScript, Axon Framework, Spring Boot, Angular 12, GraphQL, Postgres, RxJs, NGXS, Aspose, GrapeCity Documents, Google PubSub, Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, CircleCI, Docker and tools like Github, Intellij IDEA, Sentry and Google Data Studio.
We believe in true ownership. So, we offer competitive salaries and an employee stock option plan (ESOP).

Customer Success Manager
Very rarely one could find a workplace that lives and breathes Open Culture, Trust, Flexibility, Entrepreneurship and offers a Family-friendly environment with the possibility to try, fail and learn fast. I am glad that I found Layer!
Erick
Software Engineer
I relocated from Portugal to Berlin to work at Layer, and I am really happy with my choice. Layer offers a great work-life balance which allows me to focus on work but still enjoy the city with my partner.
Narbeh
VP of Engineering
The problems we solve at Layer are novel and intellectually challenging. We use modern product engineering practices, tools and technologies. Most importantly however, is the amazing company culture for which I joined. For us, it's equally important to build great products and a great team.
Swathi
Product Manager
At Layer, every day is a new day to solve interesting challenges, with awesome teams that are smart and supportive. We do our best to understand more about our users and have meaningful impacts. I have found my tribe at Layer.

Layer isn't another company that just promotes diversity and inclusion for recruitment. It's one that actually embraces it, pushes for it, and embeds it as part of the culture. You feel valued for your skillset and what you bring to the table, and supported personally and professionally.
