Our infrastructure is entirely NAWS-based and designed to scale without failure, ensuring the right data is delivered to the right place. We have developed tools that utilize advanced machine learning techniques for data insights, anomaly detection, and predicting customer behavior.

We are a cohesive set of SDEs, QAEs, TPMs, and SDMs who are solely focused on our mission while not losing sight of the fact that we need to enjoy being here and the people we work with. Our organization has worked hard to build the right work/life balance by limiting when meetings can be scheduled, blocking off time for lunch, and ensuring that no one is being overworked. Learning, delivering, and making an impact in the way our organization evolves is our biggest desire. We explore new and interesting technologies to solve our business problems, and we keep our focus on the long-term impact on our changes.
