THE CHALLENGE

THE TREND

41%of engineers say their top hiring challengeis a lack of candidates.

1.4Msoftware jobs went unfilledin 2016

59is the average number of daysto hire a software developerin the U.S.

64% of developerswork remotely at leastpart-time

53% of developers saidremote options are atop priority when job searching.

TIME CONSUMING INTERVIEWS, A SHORTAGE OF QUALIFIED

CANDIDATES, AND A LACK OF DIVERSITY ARE THREE OF THE

TOP HIRING CHALLENGES IDENTIFIED BY 36,000 ENGINEERS IN

A 2018 SURVEY BY HACKERRANK. To address these, many

companies are going distributed, which allows them to expand

their talent pool while attracting the 53.3% of developers who

prefer to work remotely. InVisionApp is a 100% distributed

company that has bypassed the developer shortage by hiring

employees in 27 countries across the world, including Nigeria,

Kenya, and Uganda.

ABOUT ANDELA Andela helps companies build high-performing, distributed engineering teams with Africa's

most talented software developers. Based in Nigeria, Kenya, and Uganda, Andela developers work as full-time,

remote engineers with leading technology firms around the world.

In August of 2017, InVisionApp, a digital product design platform powering the

world’s best customer experiences, partnered with Andela to build third-party

integrations with collaboration tools and flat prototype assets that are used for

design.

InVisionApp already had employees based in 23 countries, so it was a no-brainer

to add Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda as 24 through 26. With a remote-first mindset

firmly established, the InVision/Andela partnership took off quickly, starting with

four Andela developers on two teams and growing to ten developers across six

teams today.

I truly believe that distributed work is the wave of the future. You aren't bound by geography when you are distributed. If you are in San Francisco, you have a small pool - my pool is endless!"

Developer ProfileMURPHY ENAHO

Murphy joined InVision in June of 2017 as a

member InVision’s Core Engineering team.

Murphy was brought on specifically to

create endpoints in a Node service to

support an internal admin tool.

Quickly mastering this, he was given

broader feature work, then moved on to

front-end tasks using React and Angular,

and picked up Go along the way. In the past

year, he has gained extensive knowledge of

the product and is able to take on any

ticket within the InVision repos.

ON DISTRIBUTED TEAMS

“Working for a distributed company has been awesome. Communication is key in working together -- Slack is our office.”

ON GROWTH AT INVISION

“Working with InVision has evolved my approach to problem solving and allowed me to explore things that I’ve been curious about, like software architecture. Since being at InVision, I’m one step closer to owning my own craft in architecture engineering.”

There is a lot of trust there. With 30-40 microservices across 10 teams, it’s complicated! The team’s trust is a testament to Murphy’s curiosity and willingness to ask questions.”
