Zelt

Since day one I’ve worked on new and challenging things. It keeps me on the edge of my seat and excited about my work. Ive loved the enthusiasm of my team towards the development of big features and how they encourage me to take them on.

I came here as a mere frontend developer but today i can confidently call myself a fullstack developer. Zelt not only gave me a chance to enhance my frontend skills but also gave me a huge platform to learn a great deal about backend development.

Zelt has a great working environment and a flexible time zone work flexibility. We have a diverse team with people from all over the world. Zelt has always been really accommodating on timings and work.

Since we're building the core product, and product road map, which is primarily shaped by our founders, user feedback, and every team-member's valuable inputs / suggestions, its extremely challenging work, that pushes you to do your best, while learning so much along the way, be it working with new technologies, or from my co-workers and their wealth of knowledge & experience.

Every single person on the team is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that we deliver the best possible product to our end users, while trying to help each other out, if we're ever stuck while trying to debug an issue or build out a new feature; when something breaks, every person on the team is waiting on the frontlines, ready to fix the issue, as soon as possible, even if the related feature / bug was never touched by them; the only goal is a super-smooth experience for our users, and our team is laser focused on delivering that, all the time. It really is a breath of fresh air, to be able to ask questions, and get doubts cleared by some of the smartest people I've ever worked with, with no apprehensions, whatsoever; it ensures that our team is continuously learning and growing.

Our team is made up of people from such different backgrounds / locations, but we are all focused on our core goal, of delivering a stellar product experience to our end-users, and our backgrounds never get in the way of that; in fact, I would say, because we have such different backgrounds, it helps give the entire team a unique / global perspective on every problem we encounter, and always ensures, we've tackled an issue in the most rational way possible.

Team at Zelt is made up of hard working, smart and creative individuals. Everyone comes from a different background that makes learning about each other personally and professionally really exciting. Product vision is strong and the leadership is inspiring.

Most exciting aspect of working at Zelt is that we are solving a problem that is way too common and relatable. Almost everyone has run into admin issues with their employer, not knowing your Tax Code, pension contributions, not being able to access all work docs for visa etc. I know exactly what kind of impact my work is going to have.

We're a fast paced startup so you learn every day - about the best ways and tools to solve a particular software challenge; best practices in our and all adjacent industries and news of London startup scene. I combine learning from team members and also by myself, by diving into deep ends and exploring.

During my first few months I have already worked on several green field features of the product, all of which have their own specific set of UX and technical challenges, so the learning curve has been steeper than in an other company I have worked at before. Because the problem we want to solve is so big, we need to make use of many different technologies to deliver our customers the full value of automation.

The people are some of the smartest I have worked with. The complexity of the product is very high due to the high interdependence of the different product features, which makes building Zelt not just a technical but also an intellectual challenge.

Meritocracy is one of the core principles at Zelt. Every team member is the CEO of their workstream and gets full responsibility and credit for its success.
