How we work together

• Empowered & autonomous teams able to make decisions needed to work effectively and self-determine technical & product direction based on data
• Taking massive pride, ownership and accountability for all work without being a perfectionist; done is better than perfect
• People who are multipliers of others; being a proactive team player and great collaborator is better than raw talent
• Shared success; we succeed together when our customers are successful, when the team is successful and when the company is successful
• Strongly debating your case with facts & data and having the integrity to make a commitment to decisions and move forward owning them as if they were your own
• Having the humility to make new decisions when we learn more; no decision should be forever, though we should be mindful of the decisions which are easy to change and the ones which are harder to change
• We optimize for developer experience; machines are less important than people. Our systems and code should reflect that and show empathy to other engineers and ourselves. Simple is better than smart
• Frequent and small changes, shipping multiple times per day and developing in the open
• Our engineers collaborate very closely, using pair programming, even though we don’t follow it religiously, it is a tool that allows us to streamline feedback loops for code review and make us more effective
• We have vertical ownership and own our domain segment end-to-end, APIs, UI & UX, analytics, deployment, monitoring and observability. We build it, we run it, we own it, which also means that we support our software by employing on-call
• Team metrics are important to us though they are not the goal – we’re keeping track of cycle time, lead time, deployment frequency, mean time to restore, planned vs unplanned work to name a few – understanding this helps to keep us speed and quality
• In all work we apply a DevOps mindset and take ownership of testing and QA within the team; we take care in how we write quality software, how we deploy reliable software, and how it’s compliant & secure

Technology we’re using

• We follow a micro-service architecture deployed into Kubernetes - services are mainly authored in Golang, IaC with Terraform and messaging with RabbitMQ
• We’re an AWS company, and make use of many the services it has to offer, including Serverless
• For storage we make use of Postgres and DynamoDB - we match storage to use cases and pick what’s most suitable for our customer needs
• For web-frontend we’re using Webpack Module Federation to allow teams to contribute micro-frontends independently to a larger React application - we own a number of components
• On mobile, we’re leveraging mostly React Native mixed with some custom Swift and Objective-C native frameworks
• We manage our work using Jira, put our code on Gitlab, logs are going into an ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) stack, metrics via Prometheus & Grafana, and for mobile analytics we use Amplitude
