Pros
High autonomy: As a tech lead, I'm trusted to make key technical decisions, from architecture to implementation. It's an ideal place for senior professionals who enjoy ownership.
Global reach: Telgea is building a unique product - offering local mobile plans across countries under a unified system. It’s exciting to work on infrastructure that spans telecoms, eSIMs, and real-time APIs.
Startup energy without chaos: It’s a startup, but the team is focused, resourceful, and quick to iterate. You can move fast and still maintain a high bar for quality.
Remote-first and async-friendly: Work happens around the globe, but the culture is respectful of your time. Meetings are minimal, and outputs matter more than hours.
Leadership values: The founders are transparent and open to feedback. There’s a shared mission, and everyone is aligned on delivering value.
Cons
The fast pace and high trust model may be overwhelming without prior startup or self-managed experience.
Processes still evolving: As with many early-stage startups, documentation, QA, and internal tooling are still catching up to the product’s scale.
