We’re humans.

We learn, grow, and have fun working together.

Our Principles.

Care

Can you imagine coming to work and not caring? We can’t.

We put our hearts into everything we do. Everyone brings full commitment to delivering quality work. We all take responsibility for the health and harmony of our team.

As we always say: “keep safe and take care of each other.”

Autonomy

People get things done when they have the freedom to take action and ownership to involve everyone impacted by the outcome.

That's why we promote a self-organisation and experiment-driven environment, one where mistakes are learning tools.

Collaboration

Working collaboratively is at our core. Our culture is built on it.

Spending time together creates energy, builds bonds, and enriches our minds. Here, the whole team owns the project.

Collaboration also underpins the relationships we have with our clients, who are part of our team. We work as an extension of them, hopefully becoming their long-term tech partner.

Agility

Being agile means being open to new ways of working and trying new stuff. We adapt quickly and pride ourselves on taking risks and learning from our mistakes.

We don't give up. We test and iterate to find a better solution. Our curiosity makes our world move forward.

This approach allows us to be flexible when discussing ideas and helps us to deliver on our commitments.

Our Handbook.

Mindera was born to be in people’s hearts.

Our handbook will help you to understand our principles and the way we make decisions as a team.

So, fasten your seatbelt, download it, and let it all sink in. Enjoy the ride!

How everything started.

Our story begins in March 2014, with Paul Evans. He was wearing a pair of Paul Smith socks when he realised it was the right time for him to move on from his job.

Paul sat in the shed of his new home’s garden. He thought to himself: “what do I do next?” He realised he had two options: he could take another corporate job or start a new company.

One day, surrounded by laughs and a table full of pizza, the conversation between Paul and his four friends — Bruno Lopes, Guilherme Almeida, José Fonseca, and Sofia Reis — turned to the future and how they could all build something amazing together.

Their goal was simple: to work together in a happy place, not driven by cash but by getting things done right every day.

Play is as important as work.

We hire people who are unafraid of being themselves. We are real, we are fun, we are humans.

When you join our crew, you’re welcomed into a place where play is just as important as work.

Five male Minders sit in a room full of musical instruments, with two of the Minders using a laptop to carry out software development work for the software engineering company Mindera.

A Minder takes a selfie that shows a group of Minders sat at tables in the background, having food and drinks as they discuss the Mindera About Us page.

Three Minders sit in the Mindera office with their backs to the camera while they play FIFA 17.

A group of many Minders pose for the camera, with some lying and leaning on a sofa at the centre of the picture, in the office of software engineering company Mindera.

Six Minders are working in their Macbooks in an office decorated with yellow and black balloons.

Life, work, and friends.
