Staff Software Engineer, Omnea

A lot of folks think about working smarter or harder - we do both, and it pays out in results. It might not be the most chill ride, but there's already the feeling that Omnea is going to be a career-making company.

We're diverse in all ways but one - smarts. This is genuinely one of the most rockstar teams I've worked with, with A players across the board. We have ex-founders on our sales team, former VPs of engineering writing code, the energy is palpable when you have this many smart people in a room.

Omnea's revenue is one of the fastest growing for seed-stage businesses in Europe, and isn't propped up by hype-y gimmicks or AI either. Omnea's hit on a real, durable, business need, which is why both cool scale-ups like Typeform and legacy tech players like McAfee and Teamviewer call themselves happy customers.

I am privileged to work with a roster of outstanding teammates. Drive, energy and intelligence permeates through the company - with entrepreneurialism at its core: people who have been there and done it / successfully exited, ex founders and investors who’ve made the transition to operating roles, and career changers who excelled in other walks of life and are joining us on the mission.

Ben is an incredible CEO: focused, fair, with a clear vision and desire to win. It’s no wonder the team is attracting so many amazing people and building a great product that customers love. He has brought on exceptional leaders who have worked together and succeeded as a team before, alongside promoting people who have done a stellar job internally.

At Omnea, we are a meritocracy and we celebrate our successes, without blowing them out of proportion. The team recognises a startup is a series of small wins and we call out individuals who do these while embodying our values in meetings, on Slack, and with each other.

I have been with Omnea for over two years, and it has been a fantastic experience. The environment here allows for growth in both technical and soft skills. I get to collaborate with friendly and professional colleagues on an impactful product.

Our product is doing a big job in saving our customers' time, making their work more efficient and productive. It feels great to deliver a solution that integrates seamlessly into their daily routines. It’s incredibly rewarding to see people happily paying to use something that positively influences their daily work.

As a member of the software engineering team, I have had the opportunity to work with the latest and most advanced technologies. We swiftly update our tools whenever we determine it's beneficial, ensuring we stay at the forefront of innovation. While we prioritize meeting our short-term goals, we also focus on creating solutions that are maintainable and robust in the long term.
