+# We are hiring engineers to build an awesome product and platform used by millions of people
+
+Are you ready for a new challenge? Or maybe you know someone who is looking for a change? We have some exciting problems to solve and are looking for senior developers to work with us and our community on our open source Piwik Analytics platform. Piwik is used by more than one million websites all over the world. It is deployed on more than 300.000 servers and some users track more than 1 billion actions per month.
+
+## What is it like to work on Piwik?
+
+We develop this software using modern PHP, MySQL, Redis, AngularJS and more. We provide several kind of APIs and a plugin architecture to allow developers to extend and change Piwik to their needs. However, we would not be Piwik if we stopped at this point! We want to turn Piwik into an even more awesome product and platform.
+You can imagine there is a lot to do and many challenges to face!
+
+While one part is to always make Piwik scale better and to improve UI and UX, we also want to provide simple APIs to make the life of developers as pleasant as possible. We aim to solve things the right way and our thousands of unit, integration, system, JavaScript and screenshot tests help us to innovate and to not be afraid of change. We like clean code and constant improvements.
+
+The Piwik team lives in New Zealand, Europe (Poland, Germany) and in the U.S. We do the vast majority of our collaboration online. Our values include being open, transparent and sharing knowledge. For this we use tools like GitHub and Slack to communicate and Quake servers to take our minds off complex challenges. We are a small, flexible team, so when you come aboard, you will play an integral part in engineering and have a big impact on the product loved by so many people. You’ll help to create a welcoming environment for new contributors and set an example with your development practices and communications skills.
