The Team

You will be part of the Product Engineering Team, and your mission will be to keep developing

and improving web applications our clients use, building beautiful, fast, and easy to use

interfaces in the frontend, and fast, scalable, and well structured code in the backend.

To do that, you will use the latest and best open-source technologies out there. For the frontend

side, our framework is Vue.js, and Quasar our Component framework. We have an amazing

component library built by the Design Team help that allows us to forget about “one pixel more

to the right” problems, the design always will follow our style guide and we can focus on the

JavaScript code.

For the backend side, we code in Python using Django as our main framework (we use Django

Rest Framework to follow API REST principles too). Our data lives in PostgreSQL databases,

but you will find high-performance databases too.

All our services use observability tools like Sentry, Grafana, Influxdb, or Telegraf, and our

services are deployed on AWS

If you do not know a lot about some of those technologies, worry not, our engineers will be

happy to support you while you are on your journey to becoming an expert on them.
