Behind every groundbreaking and life-changing product, there’s an awesome team! Day-by-day, our engineering team pursues our mission of making the world of work a better place for everyone. We share a unique work culture that’s based on aiming high, taking ownership, co-creating, caring and growth.
Our Software Engineers often describe our product as complex, but fun. Here are some of our core tech tools that help ‘the magic happen’: for the back end we predominantly use PHP and Laravel to build and maintain a Restful API. We love Laravel for a lot of reasons but mostly because it is a very powerful framework and we’ve been able to build impressive features. We are taking care of our Laravel framework and PHP and we are keeping them up to date with the latest versions available. We respect user experience and the time to serve information so we are doing a lot of work in the background by utilizing Laravel’s famous queues! We are big fans of Docker and we use it to run every environment we have but also easily scale our API and other services. AWS is where our applications live and serve their purpose to our users. Working with these tools excites us every day and hopefully they will excite you too!
