 About Digital Hub Riga
 
 We are a part of VR Group, a responsible provider of public transport for the future, with solid experience gained from 160 years of operations. The company provides passenger, logistics, and maintenance services in the Nordics. The Digital Hub is supporting the business in developing and managing modern IT solutions for MaaS (mobility-as-a-service) among other things.

 About The Team
 
 The Digital Crew, e.g. the members of the Digital Hub, are organized into smaller teams that work with specific portfolios or workstreams. Each team has the ownership of one or more domains. Cross-team collaboration is common, and rotation within teams is done to ensure an overall level of knowledge sharing and competency. Typically, a team consists of a product owner, solution architect, lead developer, designer, developers, and testers. But any variation may exist. Teams are agile, working with scrum and two-week cycles. The majority of our solutions are cloud solutions, so working with AWS is a required must for all digital crew members.
