<1 Backend Developer: Building and Operating Backend Servers>
→ Candidates who can freely use backend languages and frameworks such as node.js and python
→ Candidates with experience in cloud environments such as AWS and GCP
→ Candidates with database-related experience such as mysql, nosql, Django, and MongoDB
1. Impact-focused Organizational Structure / Flexible Organizational Culture
⇢ 4-day workweek (32 hours per week)
All members of the team, including the founder, standardly do not contact each other outside of work hours via any means of 'KakaoTalk, phone, text'. The only communication channel used is 'Slack'. Due to varying work hours of employees, it is a mandatory rule to set customized alerts that only apply during their work hours.
⇢ More than 90% remote work, possible for digital nomads
When working remotely, employees screen-record their work laptop and share it only with the in-house manager via Google Photos. Hours worked can be acknowledged based on the recorded screen, regardless of location. The recordings will be reflected in future performance evaluations (incentives, salary re-negotiations after the probation period, etc.).
⇢ 100% flexible work hours system, choose desired working hours / negotiate working 2 or 3 days per week after fixing time slots
Employees can choose a fixed schedule based on their preferred time slots.
(This must be regular due to the premise of it becoming routine.)
2. Horizontal communication and execution organization
There is no concept of position or rank to prevent better opinions from being overshadowed by job titles or ranks. After joining, all members must add 'nim' after their names or nicknames to address everyone respectfully.
3. Willingness to adopt the latest technologies
We adopt all of the latest technologies in development and design.
We signed a joint development agreement with Sogang University’s Computer Science department and Google for the advancement of the latest Flutter technology and AI adoption.
4. Trendy benefits
⇢ Signing bonus of 500,000 to 1,000,000 KRW paid immediately after joining!
A signing bonus of approximately 1,000,000 KRW (net) is paid immediately after joining.
⇢ Snacks delivered to home every 2 weeks!
Since remote work makes it difficult to provide snacks in the office,
snacks are regularly delivered directly to employees' homes.
(Partnership with a publishing company) One Marvel / DC comic book provided per month to employees.
Employees provided YouTube Premium and a paid subscription account for NETFLIX and Watcha, etc.

<Focusly's Beginning and Vision>
Hello.
How many times have you read the same line? It’s time to read smartly! Focusly, an immersive reading application you can't take your eyes off.
As the founder, I have struggled with dyslexia since I was young.
Reading was so difficult and painful, and there was no proper solution, leading me to struggle with learning difficulties and various stress from an early age.
My mind was filled with how to overcome this dyslexia.
And time passed.
Nowadays, most reading is done on displays instead of paper.
There’s Microsoft's Immersive Reader, which is a solution that helps with dyslexia in reading on displays (https://youtu.be/nt3hz2vVf8c).
However, I felt that it was lacking for accommodating individuals with various reading speeds and requested feedback to Microsoft several times for functional improvements.
But there was no response, so I decided to develop it myself.
Thus, I developed a technology called FFIB and filed for a patent.
"Now, I find myself reading for 1 to 2 hours, whereas I could only read for 5 minutes a day with the prototype we developed."
The idea and prototype I created to overcome myself received awards from my surroundings and even got investment, which naturally led me to start a business.
We were established in December last year, and we are looking for co-founders and team members when our seal hasn’t even dried yet.
We were founded with the goal of 100% M&A within 3 years, and we are strategically pursuing M&A, with some IP acquisition completed and continuously building our IP portfolio.
