Craftgate is a payment hub on top of banks and other payment facilitators, allowing companies process payments with lower costs and easy integration. Craftgate gives companies one-stop-shop payment services as a B2B SaaS product without interfering with the relationship between you and the bank.
We believe in the developer-first strategy. With Craftgate's developer-friendly API, companies integrate easily with well-documented endpoints. Here are some videos you should take a look at to learn about how people can test and experience Craftgate, how companies integrate with the APIs.
We don't have seniority levels (like junior, mid-level, senior, etc.) in titles at Craftgate. We are all crafters. We love our profession and we believe that we are on a journey of craftsmanship.
We don't have any team leader position at Craftgate. Every crafter is a natural-born leader and leads the team unintentionally regardless of work experience in years.
We are active practitioners of pair/mob programming. Therefore all crafters are expected to be skilled at collaboration and teamwork.
Here are some videos you should take a look to learn more about us. All videos are in Turkish, btw.

We've been working remotely since March 2020. We love remote working and we plan to continue in that style forever. Crafters do not all live at Istanbul. We have teammates living at İstanbul, Ankara, Denizli, İzmir, Diyarbakır and Antalya already.
We have a well-designed, peaceful office at Nidakule, Göztepe, İstanbul. However, it is just open for crafters to use whenever they get bored from working from home.

We always seek new ways to build a more humanized, ethical, and fair recruitment process. We've evolved our recruiting strategy by gradually improving it throughout the years. We believe recruitment requires hard work both for us and the candidate and we make it a win-win for both sides. If you start your recruitment journey at Craftgate, we guarantee you will learn and improve yourself at every step.
The recruitment process has 4 main steps. Let's deep dive into details for each step.
If your submission is accepted after evaluating your CV, we organize a zoom meeting as the first step in the process. Two crafters join from the Craftgate side and discuss technical topics for one hour. The discussions mainly around the following areas and technology-stack-related topics.
During the interview, you hear what we expect from a crafter. Also, we hear what you expect to see from a company/culture that motivates you. We inform all the details about the recruitment process.
If both sides feel happy about the outcome of the first interview, we continue with the second step. At this stage, we send a challenge project to the candidate. We expect to see the challenge finalized in one week. Our aim is not to rush candidates and make them stressed in their busy schedules. Therefore, if candidates ask for extra time, we give them as they want.
When the project is submitted by the candidate, we evaluate that. If both sides feel to continue with the process, we organize a challenge review meeting via zoom.
This step aims to review the challenge project with the candidate. All software crafters join this meeting, that is around 8-9 crafters total. We ask questions to understand the reasons for design decisions made and comment on these. Also, the candidate hears the points crafters care about. Since the candidate meets with all its possible teammates in one virtual room, it can ask questions at any point to make us clarify.
We also ask for improving the design by drawing components and diagrams on a virtual whiteboard. That is an intense discussion that usually both sides improve their knowledge. The meeting takes around 1.5 hours.
After the completion, all crafters come together and analyze the interviews. If all participants strongly agree, we organize the last interview with the CEO of Craftgate, i.e. Hakan Erdoğan.
This is the last step in our recruitment process. Hakan basically chats with the candidate and tries to understand if the candidate can fit the company from cultural and technical perspectives.
We tried to share all the details with you. if you want to join the team of crafters, do not hesitate and send your CV to talent@craftgate.io.
Hope to meet you soon...
