PULILAB OVERVIEW

Pulilab is a digital product design and software development company based in Budapest.  

We have recently transitioned to remote agency. Although it was planned, it is accelerated by the current global situation, and now we are looking for the next team member to join our backend team. We are historically and happily bound to Python, and Django is deployed in countless projects, serving valiantly as the core of our technology-stack.

In Pulilab we mainly serve as agency for clients such as W.H.O and Unicef, where we are involved with their innovation department on prototyping informatics based websites, internal administration tools and platforms with global footprint ( https://digitalatlas.who.int/ is developed and maintained by Pulilab )

We also dedicate a portion of our resources and time to build our own products. We have a wide portfolio of business-cases. Currently we are focusing on launching a product to meet demand for COVID-19 testing.

The common denominator in all of projects in Pulilab is the high complexity. Our approach is to only take on external projects, if they have an interesting angle.
