About the team:
Multiple teams are hiring concurrently for this function. Still, regardless, you will be part of a small, cross-functional, autonomous, distributed team across Europe and Asia in charge of one part of the product or the business end-to-end. You will have shared time for collaborative activities such as planning, retros, stand-ups, and brainstorming sessions. Some interesting challenges the teams face are implementing new technologies such as AI, for multiple platforms, and dozens of millions of users.
You will use a broad and modern tech stack with:
Programming Language: We use TypeScript for Frontend. Our backend services are written in TypeScript and Kotlin.
Frameworks and Libraries: We use React/Redux and WebAssembly.
Monitoring and Logging: We are currently using Datadog for monitoring and logging. Metrics are collected across our agents, taken from the logs using metric filters, and updated directly from lambda function or the application.
Infrastructure-as-Code: Most of our infrastructure is written with Terraform.
CI/CD: We currently use GitHub Actions for CI, and ArgoCD for CD.
Deployments: We have multiple EKS clusters set up either for Blue/Green rollouts or dedicated feature sets. We are currently updating these clusters using ArgoCD and Atlantis.
Our main databases are MongoDB and a self-managed CockroachDB cluster running on EKS.
We believe in automating ourselves out of our jobs.
