Your colleague about working at Drieam
“Always driven, yet without any stress. That characterizes the way we like to do things. We are passionate about what we do, but we keep our planning feasible and work very well together. Whether you are building a new feature in Ruby on Rails or refining a mobile experience in React Native, you’ll have real ownership, from design discussions to deployment. We embrace modern ways of working—like using AI to speed up the boring stuff and ensuring our UI is fully accessible—so we can focus on the real architectural challenges.”
Martijn, Team lead - Product & Development
A typical day at Drieam
09.00 Daily stand-up with your scrum team. Discussing the sprint progress and identifying where we can pair up on a complex task.
09.15 Development. You’re working on a new feature for Portflow. You use GitHub Copilot to quickly scaffold a boilerplate, giving you more time to focus on the business logic.
13.00 Lunch with the team. Healthy, fresh, and free.
13.30 Pair programming. You hop on a call with a colleague to tackle a tricky integration. Together, you audit a new component to ensure it’s fully navigable via keyboard and screen readers. Working together is how we keep our code quality high.
14.30 Time for a workout. Clear the head for the afternoon session.
15.30 Testing & Refining. You dive into the Ruby on Rails backend to optimize a complex data set. You’re not just looking at raw performance, but ensuring the API is intuitive and easy to consume for the React and React Native apps. You wrap it up with a solid RSpec suite to ensure 100% reliability.
17.45 Wrap up. You push your final commits, check the GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline, and get ready for tomorrow.
And tomorrow?
Your day will be entirely different. One day you might be diving into the React Native codebase for our mobile app, the next you’re optimizing a Ruby on Rails API or tweaking a React frontend. You have the freedom to experiment with new tools. Do you have progressive ideas about how to further improve our tech stack, or how to make our platforms even more inclusive for learners with disabilities? Great! We are currently moving toward the Oxc ecosystem and optimizing our AI-assisted workflows, and we want your input.
