They care deeply about user experience in fields where it often is lacking, and want to raise that bar. They strive to build products which are intuitive, a challenge given the complex data they manage. They are not language or library zealots, rather "right tool for the job" people. Today, those tools include:
- Languages: Scala, Python, Javascript
- Frameworks & Libraries: Scalatra, Akka, Akka-Stream, Cats, Flask, Polymer, Ramda.js
- Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes
- Datastores: Redis, Postgres, ElasticSearch, Hbase, DynamoDB, RabbitMQ
Although experience with the existing stack is great, they are interested in engineers who are able to take the complex tasks users perform and distill it down to an intuitive experience.
