🛠️ Tech stack & Development process at autoSense
Technologies that we use
Can I choose the hardware? What is your coding setup (IDE, OS, Build server, Cloud provider)?
We use AWS including Infrastructure as Code approach to run our dockerized server based and serverless micrfoservices, to be able to spend most of our time writing code and not worrying about deployment and setup. In general we make use of a modern tech stack that fits our needs. OS is not really relevant for us, as we use it through AWS (AMI - Amazon Machine Images). Yes you can choose your hardware.
Our software development process
How can I grow as a developer at your company (career paths and learning opportunities)?
At our company, growth happens through initiative and impact. We don’t offer standardized training programs — instead, you grow by taking ownership, experimenting, and pushing ideas forward. The more you invest yourself, the more opportunities will open up — whether that’s leading a project, shaping a product direction, or exploring new technologies. We believe in giving talented people room to grow, learn fast, and make a real difference.
Do you prefer always writing your own software for everything or use frameworks if they fit?
Typically we try to make use of existing frameworks wherever possible. If something does not fit, however, we don’t shy away to build it custom.
