Every day we solve never seen before problems in bleeding edge tech. This is a great opportunity to wear many hats in a tight knit team.

We love Kubernetes, golang, nodejs, react and services from the top three cloud providers (like S3, GKE, Kinesis, etc). Our tech is constantly evolving but those technologies form the basis. Everything we use in our core product is the latest and greatest. Our customers are usually bigger companies which means we get to work new stuff every day.
