Position

Our Tech Stack

• Our stack is React.js with Typescript on the frontend with a Ruby on Rails backend
• We’re running Elasticsearch to power our Insights search
• We are fully migrated to Kubernetes on AWS to enable an event-driven service architecture, using Kafka to let services communicate together asynchronously and resiliently
• We have top-notch front-end Javascript engineers, and we realize that Node.js and Typescript are becoming a key language on the backend side as well

You’ll be expected to work with all of these technologies, but we aren't expecting deep knowledge in every one. We strive to build everything backend by code and reliable pipelines that will get you on track at lightning speed. We’re always open to changes that will make us faster and better.
