Technologies that we use
Can I choose the hardware? What is your coding setup (IDE, OS, Build server, Cloud provider)?

We focus is on building and using efficient tooling in our dev environment: get up and running in minutes. Just pull the code and run docker-compose up.
We also focus on getting our code to production quickly and safely using a CI / CD pipeline with Github Actions and AWS.

We typically interview in three steps:
