OUR ENGINEERING TEAM

Each month, millions of customers use our web and native apps (powered by our custom e-commerce backend) to help make better decisions about the products they use in their homes. We work in full-stack Agile product teams to cultivate autonomy, collaboration, and speed.

We build in a modern, evolving stack (Python, Django, PostGres, Vue, Redis, Kubernetes, AWS, Swift, Kotlin, Java), using new technologies as needed. Our CI/CD pipelines make sure we get to production several times a day, and understand the impact of our work. Our strong unit test suites (well...only medium-strong on the front-end) and end-to-end Selenium and Cypress tests let us refactor and release with certainty. We operate with shared trust and enjoy being 'in this together' to meet the challenges of a scaling business.
