Careers
Work that matters. Team that cares.
We're a small, senior team that builds mission-critical software for companies with real problems. We hire rarely, but when we do, we look for engineers who want to do the best work of their careers.
Working at Breaktree
What it's actually like.
Small team by design
We're not trying to scale to 500 people. We stay small so that every engineer works on meaningful problems and has a direct impact on outcomes.
Ownership, not tasks
You won't be assigned tickets from a backlog. You'll own problems end-to-end — from understanding the client's needs to deploying production software.
High standards, low drama
We expect excellent work, and we create the conditions for it. No pointless meetings, no micromanagement, no politics. Just good engineering.
Learning through building
Every project is different. Every client has unique challenges. You'll constantly work with new technologies, domains, and problems — and ship real software.
Open Positions
No open roles right now.
We're not currently hiring, but that changes. If you're a senior engineer who resonates with how we work, we'd still like to hear from you.

What We Look For
The kind of people who thrive here.

- ✓You form opinions but hold them loosely — evidence beats ego
- ✓You can explain complex ideas clearly to non-technical stakeholders
- ✓You'd rather do fewer things well than many things adequately
- ✓You're comfortable with ambiguity and can navigate it without hand-holding
- ✓You care about the craft, but you care about the outcome more
