“Here, my work balance, health and happiness matters.”

As a Software Engineer, Marcela develops reliable software for complex projects while keeping the bigger picture in mind. Her story reflects what makes TOPIC special: talented people, challenging technology, and a culture where employees are valued, supported, and encouraged to grow both professionally and personally.

Why do you work at TOPIC?

It's important to me to work for a place that aligns with my personal and professional values. At TOPIC, I feel that employees matter and there's room to be yourself, which makes me even more enthusiastic about my work. It's incredible to love what you do and to feel valued while doing it

How would you describe your job, and what does your working day look like?

My daily work involves creating reliable software and maintaining existing implementations, ensuring the delivered product is of good quality in due time. It can be challenging, especially when coordinating with external stakeholders, but it's also rewarding. Our agile, fast-paced team is flexible and filled with experienced, talented people I can always count on when needed.

Which (technical) challenges do you have in your role?

I would say the ability to see the bigger picture of complex software. I work on a large project that's divided into smaller parts to keep it manageable. This means I need to understand each part and how they fit together. It’s definitely challenging, but I love it!
