We only ask that you are available for team and client meetings and can dial in from wherever you are if you are working remotely that day.\n\nPrivate medical insurance - We like to do what we can to give our Formidables peace of mind internally and externally so we provide full private medical cover, (this can be extended to spouses and children too and Formidable will pay 75% of their premiums).\n\nFamily Forming and Fertility benefits  - To support all paths to parenthood.\n\nHealth & Wellness Bonus - Health and wellness come in all different forms so to support you in choosing what works, we give you an annual 2,000Лв allowance to spend on what is right for you.\n\nRemote Working Stipend (The Megabucket) - The Remote Work Stipend is designed to help Formidables work their best.

You can choose to use this stipend to cover your travel and accommodation so you can go and work with Formidables in other locations. This benefit is currently suspended for overseas travel due to Covid, but we hope to reinstate it very soon!\n\nConference Reimbursement: Use some or all of your stipend to go towards conference tickets (subject to approval, must be related to your job) and the travel/lodging to get you there.\n\nCo-Working: You will have access to up to an additional Лв.2,000 to pay for or subsidize a co-working space for yourself, such as renting a flexible hot desk or private office.\n\n\n\nOpen Source - We have incredible access to a wider community of coding experts who are as passionate about Open Source as we are + an internal ‘Sauce Program’ that enables you to earn extra money for any extra OSS hours you put in.\n\nTraining & Development - You’ll receive unparalleled support from your peers + an all-you-can-eat professional development budget to ensure you can access all that you need to keep growing in your role and levelling up.\n\nCollaboration & Exposure - We work in a collaborative environment that leads to continuous, organic personal development.

Our people are more than the sum of their parts.\n\nThat’s why you’ll get an unusual amount of autonomy — you’re here because you’re brilliant, so we trust you to do your role in a way that works for you. Our high-trust culture is one of the things that makes us so successful, so you do you and we’ll be over here, listening and providing support where needed.\nWe have two core beliefs here:\n\nThe very best ideas are born from a community that is collaborative, high-trust, and diverse. Creating a development-led culture is key to us, so we do everything we can to cultivate knowledge sharing and personal growth within our team. That means your questions never go unanswered, and there will always be someone on hand to work through a problem.\n\nPeople are at their best when they have what they need, and we’re committed to providing the best possible working environment. Vegan snacks? Slippers for the office? Want to work from another country to spend more time with your family? We got you.\n\n\n\nInclusion is one of our core values.
