What are some key technologies you use?

The exact technical stack varies from solution to solution but, there are a few technologies we often reach for when exploring a new problem:

• Linux is the most common development and deployment platform we encounter
• Git is the primary source control system we use for our projects
• Common languages in use include: Java, C++, Python, and JavaScript
• We typically approach problems with a distributed mindset which leads to the use of microservice frameworks such as Lagom(Akka)

We also have mid-level positions available for candidates that want to grow into a senior-level position.
