🫵 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.
