WE ARE DEXT!

Our suite of tools makes accountants more productive, profitable, and powerful. In doing so, we give them back the most precious commodity, time, which they can use to add greater value to their clients.

Accountants and bookkeepers are the backbones of every successful business. For more than a decade, we've empowered our partners with innovative technology solutions to make businesses better. Dext allows them to meet the challenges they face today, tomorrow and in the future.

Our team is located in Bulgaria and the UK and has always been fully remote. We have people in Plovdiv, Sofia, London and Cambridge.

We're proud of how we work and our values – we care deeply about quality and sane development practices. We also strive for simplicity and pragmatism.

Team, Challenges & You

We have reasonable processes, organised Kanban boards, stand-ups that don't last more than 10 minutes, and product owners writing detailed (sometimes a bit too detailed) specifications. We highly жалуе the quality of the code and good practices. We've suffered enough without them. Our management is well aware of that. We've even had the need to explain that we don't need so much time to pay back technical debt. Some of us even talk about those things (code reviews, automated testing, refactoring).

What we'll expect if you join our team

• Write production-quality ELT code with an eye towards performance and maintainability;
• Collaborate with colleagues to ensure that the business has all the data it needs in a user-friendly structure;
• Ensure that the BI team, domain analysts, and data scientists have the modelled data they need to support the business - working with the BI team and domain analysts to understand their data needs and ensuring our data evolves to support them;
• Coach analysts software engineering best practices - provide training to BI analysts and domain analysts on best practices in dbt, Git, and data modelling, with a particular focus on driving an automation mentality;
• Write clean, maintainable and efficient code;
• Follow best practices (test-driven development, continuous integration, refactoring and code standards);
• Drive continuous adoption and integration of relevant new technologies into the design.
