Senior Backend Engineer

At the heart of Equal Experts is a culture built on trust, autonomy, and a shared passion for solving complex problems with simple, elegant solutions. Founded in 2007 with a vision to do things differently from traditional consultancies, the company fosters an environment often described as 'a company of grown-ups'. This ethos empowers a global network of highly experienced technology practitioners to do the right thing for customers, free from the constraints of unnecessary hierarchy and bureaucracy. The core belief is that when you bring together seasoned experts—the average consultant has over 17 years of experience—and give them the freedom to innovate, they deliver exceptional value. This flat structure is not just an organizational chart; it's a philosophy that permeates every project and interaction, ensuring that decisions are made by those closest to the work, in the best interests of the client.

This unique model is bound together by a strong set of shared values and a collective ownership structure. The company is 100% owned by a trust, with employees, associate consultants, and even customers as beneficiaries. This creates a powerful sense of shared purpose and a vested interest in long-term success for everyone involved. The Equal Experts Network is more than just a collection of individuals; it's a thriving community dedicated to continuous learning and collaboration. Members share knowledge through Slack channels, meet-ups, and conferences, ensuring that the collective expertise of the network is always growing. This supportive ecosystem allows people to thrive, develop their skills, and tackle some of the most interesting and challenging work of their careers, all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. It's a culture that values teamwork over individual excellence, creating a safe, respectful, and rewarding environment for all.
