  • 💪 How we work

  • We follow agile practices, delivering improvements iteratively in small chunks. We track the impact of our work and measure ourselves on results, not the amount of code written.
  • We’re growing fast, and are focused on building a well designed, scalable & robust platform. In some areas of the work (e.g. payment processing) there is very little margin for error.
  • Our web and backend technology platform is built in Ruby on Rails, and we also use a bunch of AWS services (via Terraform), Postgres, Docker, and a little bit of React.
  • Our mobile platforms are hybrid solutions which use Turbolinks to support us in building native features.
  • We have automated tests, continuous integration, and release to production regularly.
  • We review each other’s code, and set aside time for hacking on experimental features, refactoring and/or learning new things.
  • We work hard and finish on time, no crazy hours.
