hitta.se has a tech team of about 20 people working in one big room in the beautiful former KTH building near Odenplan. It is divided into several smaller teams. Each has a designated priority, so we have teams for search, database, maps, UX, apps and so forth. If they want to, developers can rotate between teams every quarter. Teams have a lot of freedom to chose the way they want to work.

Our primary products are web search and our mobile app. Most projects have short release cycles, with new features deployed frequently. A few projects are larger (such as migration projects) and go on for months.

We have adopted a pseudo-agile approach with a Kanban board with sticky notes on the wall. Every morning at 9.15 we have stand-ups, where developers get to tell their teams about their current work. We use Git to manage our code repositories and have a QA who controls testing and deployments. There is also a CTO who is involved in tech decisions, recruiting etc.

We have about 4 million unique users per week, so as a developer you can be sure that your code will be enjoyed by lots of people!
