Work the way you wanna live
When looking for new team members, our first priority is cultural fit - will they vibe with our Purple spirit and bring positive energy to the team? Then we look at their skills and expertise. While both team fit and capabilities matter, we won't hire even the most talented rockstar if the personality match isn't there.
So if you think you'd groove with our Purple crew both as a friend and as someone who knows how to get s***t done, drop us a line. We promise to get back to you!
Our values
Responsibility and Freedom
"With freedom comes responsibility."
We have the freedom to adapt our work style, work time, and work location to our needs while keeping the interests of the company and our colleagues as a priority. It is the responsibility of each of us to ensure that our freedom does not negatively impact the business, clients, or colleagues. We do not sacrifice our company's long-term benefit for the sake of our short-term comfort.
Flexibility & Drive
"Change is the only constant in our business."
Operating in such a dynamic business field requires us to be flexible and quickly adapt to changes otherwise we wouldn’t survive. Anything can go wrong anytime and you need to be ready for that. We have been through a lot, but we have always believed that nothing is impossible and we are always looking for solutions, not excuses. Thanks to the drive, customer oriented approach and the desire to seek opportunities, we have succeeded globally, expanding far beyond our Czecho-Slovak roots. We want to empower all of you to take ownership of your work, set ambitious goals, pursue them proactively and have impact.
Friendliness & Professionalism
"Professional in action, friendly in approach."
The FinTech and brokerage business can be tough, so we've always approached it differently - in a more friendly and people-oriented way - while staying professional. After all, we're in a serious business with potentially significant financial impact, we are not just playing around even though we like to play sometimes. We are building long-term relationships, not just with colleagues in the workplace, but also with customers, business partners, and candidates so that they feel welcomed. Being friendly doesn't mean we're all best friends or family, it means we treat each other with a positive attitude, respect, and dignity.
Fairness & Respect
"Everyone is different, which is why we do not treat each other equally, but fairly."
We treat each other with mutual respect, dignity, and fairness. However, fairness doesn't necessarily mean treating everyone identically. It's about providing opportunities tailored to individual contexts, understanding that everybody is different. We don't enforce uniform rules for everyone in every situation. Instead, we create consistent guidelines while acknowledging and respecting differences in culture, location, industry, and other factors.
Hiring process
Phone Screen
Our recruiter will give you a quick, friendly call to get to know you a little better. It's a great opportunity for both sides to share relevant information - you'll learn more about the role we're hiring for, our team culture, and what makes Purple.LAB() unique. We'll get to hear more about your background, interests, and what you're looking for in your next career move. This initial conversation helps ensure we're both heading in the right direction.
1st interview
The first interview is a one-hour personal meeting with our recruiter and your future team leader. This friendly conversation helps us get to know each other better. We'll tell you all about our team, company culture, and the role you're interested in. You'll have the chance to share your experiences, what motivates you, and both your successes and lessons learned. The main goal? Making sure there's a great cultural fit on both sides. We believe that strong teams are built on relationships, not just skills.
Case study
Once we've clicked and confirmed we're a great match, we'll send you a take-home project to work on whenever suits you best. It's designed with minimal constraints to give you freedom in how you approach it, allowing you to show us your problem-solving superpowers and how you tackle new tech challenges. We'll look at your coding basics and development practices (like git versioning), but don't worry - there's no single "right" answer! What really excites us is hearing about your thought process and choices when we chat next.
2nd interview
You'll meet with more team members including your potential tech lead to discuss your case study solution and dive deeper into technical topics. While we'll ask about your experience with different technologies and engineering practices, don't worry - there won't be any intense code testing. This relaxed conversation helps us understand how you'd fit into the role and gives you plenty of opportunities to ask questions about the team and work. We're interested in learning about your approach to engineering challenges and seeing how we could grow together.

Once we've determined you're the perfect fit for our team and your skills match what we're looking for, our recruiter will reach out with an exciting offer call.
