We are a very successful company with global reach, founded in 1999, and growing rapidly.

Working in a fast-growing organization requires us to develop robust systems, coupled with a high-quality and well-architectured code, and a strong focus on security.
Our back-end technologies include Linux, Perl, Postgres, Redis, Chef, nginx, and cloud providers such as AWS. Our software development philosophy is based on the git forking model and a vigorous process of code review to ensure only high quality code makes it into our codebase, good test coverage, prioritizing refactoring of code to pay back technical debt, attention to code architecture, simplicity and readability, rapid releases (we release code every day), outsourcing of non-core functions to cloud providers, and the adoption of latest technologies whenever possible.
