A Natively Remote Culture
At ColorElephant we’re not remote by chance or because we had to. We’re remote on purpose.
We believe talent is everywhere and we believe in providing talented, motivated and hard-working individuals with outsized opportunities while enjoying life from where they see fit.
We are all shades of color, come from over 10 countries, speak over 13 languages (and many more accents), have different religions, preferences, and perspectives. Some of us graduated from prestigious universities while others dropped out. Some worked for big corporations, others as one-man freelance shops. In all our diversity, we all share one thing, though: a passion for crafting mobile and web experiences that delight. That is what brought us together. Not geography.
How we do remote at ColorElephant?
People First
Being remote doesn't change the fact that we're humans. We understand that on the other side of the chat is a person, a colleague and reinforce the need for human-to-human communication.
Special Way to Use Slack
We have specific rules on how we use slack. Each pair has an async channel that people default to. DMs are used for urgencies only. We follow best practices to ensure smooth and effective communication.
Respect Timezones
Not everyone is around at the same time. This means we need to respect timezones and people's availability. No one likes a 2am chat.
Default to Async
We default all of our communication to async. This doesn't mean there aren't meetings, but to protect our productivity and respect different timezones, we default all of our consequential exchanges to async.
Document. Document. Document.
We document things. If it has been said or done more than twice it needs to be written. We understand documentation is a shared brain super power that makes everyone more productive.
When possible, meet
Remote is good, but nothing replaces real human contact IRL. Bar any pandemics (🙄) and we take our team on company wide paid retreats.
No Bullsh*t Hiring Process
We value your time… and frankly ours. 😅
We care about building a world-class team and therefore we dedicate time to that. We’ll review applications to our open positions weekly — we have a real human (most of the times our CEO!) — look at all applications and get back to you within 10 days. And we move quickly (but strictly) from there too.
That way you can go on with your life.
10 DAYS
we promise to get back to you on your application within 10 days
Our Values
Everyone that works for ColorElephant must follow, live and breath the values below. If these ring a bell we can’t wait to hear from you.
Solution-Oriented
Everything we do is solution oriented. We don’t raise problems. We understand challenges and research and present solutions. Our work is to add value not charge hours.
Over-Communicate
We communicate often, clearly and candidly. We provide honest feedback and detail our problems and our solutions. We articulate our thoughts.
Curiosity
We are curious. We try to understand why. We learn more. We’re interested in constantly evolving and in learning new things.
Care
We care about our clients. We care about each other. We take time to understand each other needs and desires. We care about the quality of the work we deliver and put the effort.
Agility
We’re agile. We ship stuff, we make things, we find ways to be more efficient and productive. And we adapt, we evolve.
Team Sports
We know this is a team sports. There’s no politics, no back-stabbing. This is the place to work with others and build great stuff. Together.
Celebrate
We celebrate success. Our own, that of our colleagues, our partners or our clients. We’re genuinely happy, individually and as a group, when someone succeeds.
Balance
We understand life needs a balance. We work, but we play. We put all in, but we rest. We know we need our best self to deliver our best work.
Fun
Nothing is possible without fun. We share successes and laugh with each other.
Love What You Do
We love what we do. We’re passionate. When we’re doing our craft we’re on our happy place.

Meet Tiago 🇵🇹
Tiago is ColorElephant’s oldest employee, having been “carrying the elephant” for over 5 years. He has overseen large-scale development projects for world-leading brands and has a pivotal role in ensuring our projects run smoothly, while providing insights to our clients.
What is like to work at ColorElephant?
We’re not Google or Facebook. We know that. But we provide ambitious, eager-to-learn engineers with unique opportunities to work on international, large-scale needle-moving projects having insane levels of ownership. We can promise one thing: you won’t be freaking adjusting pixels. You’ll have ownership (and with that, responsibility) to develop entire functionalities and products. You’ll face challenges and f_ck up, and we’ll clean it together and learn. You’ll have a close-knit team without politics, “power wars” and bullshit. Here’s what matters for us: delivery with quality, self-improvement and support of others. If you do that, you’ll have tons of opportunities here — to grow, to learn, to take additional responsibility, to be exposed to unique international projects and people.
Assignments
We work with two models. One of them is a client assignment. This means you'll work directly with a client's team, embedded in their team, helping to bring a project to life. We always make sure our engineers aren't allocated to 'minor' tasks but rather have key responsibilities in building features (or sometimes the entire products).
This is a great opportunity to be involved in different cultures and fast-growing technology projects with the opportunity to work directly with clients and learn from them building up your network.
Internal Projects
In the second model, you work as part of an internal (ColorElephant-only) team to deliver a project working alongside your Internal Project manager and team fellow colleagues. These are usually large projects for both startups and big corporations. You'll learn how to architect and develop a large-scale digital project and be involved in it from start to finish.
This is a great opportunity to work with others on our team, learn up close the ins and outs of building digital products in a supportive environment with international projects.
