TENTENS Tech is a partner IT company of SKELAR — a Ukrainian venture builder that scales international tech businesses. We develop social discovery platforms serving over 20 million users worldwide. Our pace and scale are driven by deep expertise in analytics, high-load systems, and performance marketing.

Today, the TENTENS Tech team consists of 250+ professionals, where everyone acts as the CEO of their own role. We operate in a 10/10ths style: we stay laser-focused on the goal, ask the right questions along the way, and never settle for "good enough" — we push for the maximum and then some. If you thrive in high-velocity environments, let’s talk!

Measurable Quality: Ensuring your code is covered by automated tests and relevant metrics where appropriate.
