Our neighborhood
These are our surroundings, what we see every day on our way to work.
Public transport
Metro line A and tram 11 around the corner. Tram 10 and 16 around another.
Team space
We don’t put more than 6 people in a room. No open space. No solitude. Ideal compromise
for cooperation.
Equipment
Need 3 screens and 3 tablets? Here you go.
More equipment

Parks all around
We have 3 parks in the immediate neighborhood.
Pro tap in the kitchen
Draught Kofola on the house + another beverage by people’s choice.
Backyard garden
This is what we see from our windows…

Who we are
We're a Prague, Czech Republic-based, small gang of programmers who have been together
for countless years. Many of us still remember good old 8bit times, the Amiga, Atari
ST, the first PCs/Macs and the time before the Internet came around. We've programmed
for mobile devices since it became possible - we went through the time of mobile
Java starting with Nokia 6230i, the boom of color phones and the wild platform fragmentation
that it caused (making 150 different ports of an app a neccessity) all the way to
today's open operating systems on smartphones and tablets (and soon smart TVs).
Fragmentation, however, is here to stay. It only changes its form and shape. Earlier
we had to live with different Java implementations, now it's different operating
systems plus HTML5. But we love new technologies and we're eager to play with new
ones. That's what 4mobile's all about. If it's battery-powered, we can program it.
We develop both to order and our own projects.
This all doesn't mean we're scared of back-ends, SQL, web services, the cloud or
anything a modern application has to do - in fact, that's where we're rooted, mobility
hasn't been around all the time, after all, and we did it all. So we can deliver
the entire package. Including solutions in the cloud, media streaming, around the
clock monitoring and support of critical systems, you name it.
Talent-wise, we have older and younger (our current age span is 20-50 years with
a mean just below 30), game and business-savvy individuals among us. Just what a
top-notch, no-nonsense programmer pack should be.
And we'd like to make you part of that team.
Part-timers and mature candidates
All that matters is getting the job done
Our philosophy is that a great team needs great people of all ages. For some reason,
some companies won't hire people above 45. We don't understand this as we're happy
to welcome aboard anyone irrespective of their width, height, weight, age, color,
sex or anything else that has nothing to do with their perfomance - as that is the
one thing that counts.
Candidates before job descriptions
If you're good we're interested
Our primary interest is to work with great people. We often change titles/positions
around when we meet someone awesome, so don't fret if you consider yourself more
or less experienced than one of our open positions.
In the end, the open positions list is what we need at the moment - many people
end up finding out their skill set is more useful elsewhere within the company anyway,
so please don't take these literally.
Benefits & Perks
What's great about working here
Challenging work
If you are the one we are looking for you know this is what counts most. Our mantra
is: results first, everything else next. No excuses.
Workmates
We do choose people to join us very carefully. Bad news: you have to pass our tests.
Good news: you can expect smart buddies who work well as a team.
Prague and Liberec
Work either in our HQ in Prague or in our first regional office in Liberec. We're
looking to attract local talent as well as offer workplace options for our mates.
Draught Kofola
We have a pro tap in our kitchen with free Kofola (the beloved local herbal cola
brand) for free and anything else on the other tap (think beer).
Hardware Bonus
If you're new you're free to customize your box for up to 10k CZK. Or your workplace
(we have Space Invaders all over our walls, you know).
Flu vaccinaton
Don't like cough and a runny nose? Well, neither do we. Once the rime is right,
you're free to get a flu vaccine reimbursement. This is of course voluntary.
Books
Want to enhance your expertise? If it's useful, it's something we buy for you -
and us (no, we don't do Rosamund Pilcher, sorry). Even though it would be more 21st
century to talk e-books, right?
Training
If you feel like getting a training, go ahead and talk to the other guys about it.
If it's useful and doesn't cost a mill, you're in. Just remember you're old enough
to choose one yourself.
Monday sports
Like football (soccer)? Not 'are you a pro', none of us are. But every Monday, we
kick each other's legs and feet in a small gym. Winning's not an issue. Having a
good time is.
Wednesday entertainment
Think pub every first Wednesday of the month and gaming the other Wednesdays. Team
Fortress 2 & beer & FlatOut2 & beer. Or beer & beer & beer &
beer.
Friendly working hours
Get here at 11:00 the latest and leave when you're done. While the result is the
single most important thing, there are good reasons for us to stick in one place
for some time every day together (=we're a team). Doctor visits, occasional home
office or studying are not a problem as long as the don't cause one.
No politics
We're proud there's no politics within 4M. Our structure is totally flat and will
remain so as long as it works, preferably forever. 100% work, 0% unproductive distractions,
that's our aim. Oh, our strict dress code: wear whatever’s most comfortable for
you.
Bonus system
4M invoices thanks to you, you get a bonus. 4M has squat, you get the same. This
bonus system is as fair as they come. The bonus info is updated weekly and everyone
can see who's getting what bonus for what. Transparent, simple, fair. Stay cool:
Because of its vertical location
Stay cool
Because of its vertical location, are offices are never hot. No air conditioning
that makes you sick and can't make more than a 6 degree difference. No sir. Good
old rock and bricks help us forget everyone else is being roasted at work.
Bathroom affairs
A shower’s at your disposal at our offices in Prague as well as two toilets with
the option for a third. In Liberec, we have two toilets plus a urinal. Whatever
your creative process, we’re ready for it all. :-)
Pet friendly
There are no restrictions on pets other than that they must not disturb people’s
work or gnaw at cables (or cause anaphylactic shock - always consult your colleagues
first).
