• Our engineers are responsible for prioritizing, conceptualizing, co-designing, building, testing, and engaging users for any concept we are building out. • We’re generalists in encouraging each other to experience the full stack, • but we’re also aware of each other’s preferences in the stack. • We hope our engineers have more longevity than any one tool we use, • but here is a sampling of our current thoughts about technology: We live on Python/Django and TypeScript/React. • We store blobs in Amazon’s S3, munch on them in Amazon’s EC2, develop in Docker, and deploy containers to Amazon’s Elastic Beanstalk. • We believe PostgreSQL should be the first system you consider when thinking about persisting structured data. • We clean and centralize data in Amazon’s Redshift, and are able to answer almost any question in SQL. • We leverage AI in our product and our internal tooling, and faced with a landscape in constant flux, try to pick the right model or agent on a task-by-task basis. • We have near-full test coverage on the backend, and are making progress on our frontend and integration tests. • We set up continuous integration and deployment because, while this model comes with its own pains, we’ve disliked being on fixed release schedules on previous projects. • We like to move fast and support point-in-time recovery :).
