Our engineering values

• Know your Tech. Develop and master your craft, sharpen your tools. Be proud of your work.
• Release early & Iterate. Deliver prototypes and start gathering important feedback early on. Use that feedback to guide you. Don't be afraid to compromise, make sure to come back & tidy things up.
• Be a team player. Offer your help, listen and seek to understand. Step up & take initiatives.
• Don't over anything. Don't over-engineer, over-analyze, over-regulate, you get it.
• Enjoy your work. Celebrate success.

Technologies we use

Our main stack is Ruby for the backend - using the Ruby on Rails framework - with Javascript (ES6) and React/Redux for the frontend. Our main storage is a MariaDB cluster. We heavily use Elasticsearch, Kafka, MongoDB, Redis and Memcached. We use Jenkins for our CI and various tools like Sentry, NewRelic and Grafana for monitoring. Generally we try to pick the best tool we know or we can find that serves our needs. You can read more about what we have worked on our Engineering blog.
