We have a balanced, flexible culture where we have fun and achieve big things for the company and our awesome clients. About the team & technology You will be joining a growing product team, with engineers who are deeply passionate about technology and problem solving, and you will have a chance to make a huge impact on the culture and practices of the team, and the wider company. We believe in continuous improvement and we are constantly optimising how we work and communicate. We plan our work weekly, using a lean approach (a mixture of Kanban and eXtreme Programming). This way we are able to deploy several times a day, allowing us to have a short feedback cycle on our changes. We have a data-driven mindset and we use data to drive decisions on everything from user story prioritisation to company strategy. We also strongly believe in observability and keeping a close eye on how our product is behaving. Our platform is made of multiple services (mainly built in Elixir, plus some Ruby services that we are transitioning to Elixir), talking to each other via APIs and RabbitMQ and storing data in Postgresql and redis. All services are hosted on Kubernetes and Google Cloud. What we’re currently working on We are working on a project to introduce Lead qualification through various communication channels and tracking everything in our Single Customer View. Together with the growing volume of data that we process for our customers this is a great opportunity for us to improve and optimise parts of our event driven architecture to be able to process existing and planned workloads without any issues. We are also finishing the migration to our own style guide using Phoenix Components, as well as polishing existing and growing new product features. In addition we are always open to opportunities to geek out with new technologies.
