Technology and team structure

From the very beginning, we created a modern, cloud-native tech platform adhering to the industry's highest standards in terms of development and operation processes. Our front-end is written in Typescript with React and our back-end in Go, in the form of loosely coupled docker-containerized microservices, well decoupled via RESTful APIs and pub-sub queues, and isolated behind different API gateways. Those containers are orchestrated using Kubernetes, instrumented with Datadog. Our CI/CD pipelines are automated using Google Cloud Build and Codefresh and our infrastructure is managed using Pulumi. Several major tech projects are progressing in parallel at a high delivery pace. Structured by squads, the tech teams are working on different products and nesto experiences based on strong algorithms and AI to meet business objectives.
