Technology

We deliver our user experience using modern HTML and CSS tools (Sass, Bootstrap) and MVC JavaScript frameworks (Backbone, Marionette). We use Jasmine for unit testing. The single page applications communicate with the backend services via REST. Our code is stored in Git repositories with Gitlab as a frontend to them.

On the backend, we run a service-based architecture implemented with Java/Spring stack. We persist our data in both relational (MySQL) and NoSQL datastores (Redis, MongoDB, ElasticSearch).

Our high-traffic production environment comprises of more than 700+ virtualized Linux servers sustaining tens of millions of daily searches.

Never-ending learning

We offer both internal and external training. Every employee has an individual yearly budget to spend on courses or conferences. Since you will be dealing with your international colleagues, there are English courses available too.

We organize bootcamps for newcomers so that you can familiarise yourself with our philosophy of development in a safe learning environment.

We have dedicated tech coaches that will offer you a helping hand in case you get stuck with a technical problem.

Work-life balance
