The Team#

We love diversity: some of us worked at start-ups, some at big corporates. Some people in the team love Node.js and others even Go (golang). A mix of JVM-based languages and dynamic languages will be great assets, but as long as you’re keen to learn, don’t mind picking up new things and are interested in all aspects of building API’s you will enjoy working with us on this project.

We work mostly in Node.js, Java and Scala.
