About the team and our tools

We are a small team of software engineers with varied backgrounds and solid experience in a wide range of technologies. We're passionate explorers, working synchronously and asynchronously in tightly knit teams where communication, respect, fun, and responsibility are key factors to success.

Our development process is agile - we do Scrum, using Jira and Confluence to track and document everything. The organization is flat and open-minded, giving each individual a lot of flexibility and freedom as long as they take ownership, get things done to a high standard, and stay aligned with the team and company visions.

We mainly use PHP to create and maintain our products, which are running on AWS, using services like EC2, ECS, RDS, Aurora, ElastiCache, and CloudFront. We deploy our code using CodePipeline and use containers, CI/CD, and automated testing.

Around our core billing product, we build and maintain a lot of services like a payment processing platform, backend client administration, a customer portal, a storefront, APIs, reports, and other data tools.
