  • Generous PTO 
  • Training, mentorship and coaching from leadership
  • The opportunity to grow alongside a company shaking up a big, old-fashioned industry
  • Fun, diverse, open-minded coworkers
  • Dog companionship!!!

Technologies You Will Use

  • Javascript with React and Redux on the Web, and Flutter on mobile. Ruby for core services, Go for newer services. Python mostly for data engineering and related processes
  • GraphQL for communication for front-end data gathering, gRPC and REST for service interaction. 
  • Google Cloud Platform: Kubernetes, Cloud SQL, Cloud Functions, PubSub, BigQuery, DataStore, and more: we keep adopting new tools as we grow!
  • Our build pipeline pulls from Git to build on BuildKite and deploy Docker-based services to Kubernetes in GCP.
