Everyone gets to collaborate on how the product evolves.

• Swift and Kotlin to develop our iOS and Android apps.
• AWS infrastructure with automated deployments using CDK for infrastructure-as-code.
• Docker so we can quickly spin up a dev environment on our laptops and so we can horizontally scale in production on ECS.
• GitHub Actions to automate our continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines.
• We all have a shiny Macbooks to work on and licences for all the tools we need

We have a strong engineering culture of Kanban, fast feedback, automated testing, infra-as-code and continuous delivery. If these ideas are new to you then reading The Phoenix Project will change your life
