OUR ENGINEERING TEAM

The Grove product/engineering/design team is rooted in a data and goal-driven culture. We love to collaborate on business and technology challenges and solve them quickly, intelligently, and robustly. We are working on web, mobile, tools, core services, data eng and sys/ops. We work in small Agile teams to cultivate autonomy, collaboration, and speed. We build in a modern, evolving stack (Python, Django, PostGres, Javascript, Vue, Redis, Memcache, Redshift, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Swift, Kotlin, Java, Scala and more), leveraging new technologies as needed. We use CI/CD to deploy several times a day so that we can impact the business as quickly as possible. We use Selenium and Cypress in addition to regular unit testing strategies to implement automated test suites on the front-end and on the back-end (with java, javascript and python). We operate with shared trust and enjoy being 'in this together' to collaborate on the challenges of a rapidly scaling business. We are based in San Francisco and Durham, North Carolina.
