With this in mind, we want to build our teams, cultivate leaders and create an innovative and successful company. This is a special shoutout to people from underrepresented groups to come shaping the future of work with us!

Our tech stack

Our platform is powered by AWS, Kubernetes, Istio, Terraform and Docker. These tools form the foundation that allow us to deploy and scale fast and easily. Everything is monitored and logged by Prometheus and Grafana, including request tracing for better observability.

Our microservices and backends are running mostly on Java + Spring Boot and Groovy, which include easy-to-use templates for new microservices.

On the client-side we use Swift and Kotlin for our iOS and Android apps, as well as React micro-frontends for our B2B and operational apps.

We test our software by using Selenium, JUnit, Spock and React Testing Library.

We store data in various persistence technologies like Kafka streams, Postgres and Redis, while also using SQS and REST for both asynchronous and immediate service communication. We make use of technologies like ElasticSearch to perfectly match talents to the right job.

We empower our teams to experiment with new technologies through our Request For Comments (RFC) process, in conjunction with collectives and knowledge-sharing sessions to gather input and maximize the quality of our deliverables. The insights we gain from our users flow back into our product development through A/B testing and constant feedback.
