About Friday

Friday exists to make the most beautifully useful digital services in the world.

Engineers at Friday are committed and passionate technology enthusiasts. We focus on the heavy lifting of application architecture, data modelling, application logic, data services and REST APIs, both in the browser and on the server. Our Engineers have deep specialist skills in one or two parts of the stack (from prototyping and front-end, to backend, infrastructure and QA), however, we encourage a full-stack attitude: an understanding of the whole project lifecycle and an ability to navigate, communicate and practice at opposite ends of the stack.

We pride ourselves on our strong engineering practice; from open sourcing our own tools and practices, adopting collaborative and empowering methods such as TDD and Specification by Example, establishing a DevOps culture within all teams, embracing mobile-first responsive design by default and striving for a culture of continuous learning.
