# Railway Goes to the Hill of Wine and Castles

***Boa tarde*** from Palmela, Portugal where the fully remote Railway team has been spending the week planning our next phase of growth and trading keyboards for corkscrews. 

We’re stoked about the new features and quality of life upgrades coming your way in Q2. 

But for now, we’re deep in team bonding mode: hiking, go-karting, making pasta, wine tasting, and soaking up all the vitamin D this beautiful place has to offer.

We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week, but in the meantime we are hiring! If you’ve been thinking about joining a team that takes building seriously (and retreating just as seriously), check out these open roles:

- [Senior Infrastructure Engineer - Datacenters](https://railway.com/careers/dc-engineer)
- [Senior Infrastructure Engineer - Platform](https://railway.com/careers/infra-platform)
- [Senior Product Engineer ](https://railway.app/careers/full-stack)
- [Senior Product Marketer](https://railway.com/careers/product-marketer)
- [Senior DevRel Engineer](https://railway.com/careers/developer-relations)

If any of these sound like a fit for you, drop us a line. We’d love to hear from you.

As always, thanks for being part of the journey.
