What we worked on last quarter

• Laying the groundwork for a modern adaptive web application, based on React and Redux frontend which communicates with a decoupled Ruby On Rails backend.

• We built a scalable infrastructure in the cloud, based on AWS, Docker, and Continuous Deployment, that serves on average 11M+ requests per day.

What a day in the office might look like

In the morning, after the daily stand-up, you pair program with a fellowdeveloper to improve the performance of an API call which is not as fast as it could be.After lunch, you provide some feedback on the quality of a couple PRs from your teammates.Then you implement a new feature from the backlog or tackle an annoying technical debt issue that you’ve been keeping an eye on for a while.
