On the observability side, we monitor everything using CloudWatch and Datadog.

About our team

We are a product-focused team. Our methodologies foster close partnerships between Engineering, Product, Infrastructure, and other key areas (Design, Data, QA, Security, etc.). Everyone is encouraged to share their ideas and opinions, take initiative, and be resourceful when coming up with creative solutions that elevate the experience for our users.

At our core is an environment where every voice is heard and valued, and each team member plays a role in shaping project strategy and designing technical solutions. We embrace proactiveness and curiosity to understand the bigger picture. Engineers are not just encouraged but expected to think critically, propose solutions, and take ownership. We’ve built a culture where ideas are shared openly, challenges are tackled head-on, and assumptions are questioned to drive continuous improvement.
