About the team

Business Logic Users:

User is one of the most important entities of our product that owns all profile data related to the particular user. Users can have several profiles in different organizations. This information is personal information that should be stored safely for every context. All user info should be secured in a separate service and available for various internal and external services. In addition, our product allows our customers to work with data that could be distributed in various regions. Users should have their information available from any location. So, we have to organize data in different regions, synchronize or query data from other regions, and do it efficiently.
There is a rare opportunity to build a new era of Miro product that works in different regions of the world and lets customers work over the globe transparently and, at the same time, comply with legal requirements!

Resources

The Resource team builds a platform part related to load, storage, and process all media types in Miro. It is a new team; we decided to move this scope and components to a dedicated team to provide better experience and attention. Our focus is on the performance and stability in the face of constant user growth. The current goals are to review and rebuild the system according to updated requirements.

Each role at Miro is based at one of our physical hubs, and we look for talent that want to be part of these local, collaborative communities. Mironeers work in a hybrid model, with a 3 days a week in office culture as our baseline.
