Dedicated to modern tech
We use the right tool for the job but do try to converge around a few, solid but flexible technologies. These make up the main spine of our platform:
Embedded
Linux, FreeRTOS, C, bash, python, SQLite + all kinds of hardware and dev boards!
Cloud Backend
AWS (server-less: Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Cognito, etc), python, REST, Grafana, Presto DB, Apache Spark, Cloudflare
Frontend
Typescript, React, REST, Cypress
Mobile
Swift, Kotlin, Fastlane, Firebase, Figma, Android Auto & Carplay
DevOps
Docker, Azure DevOps, CloudFormation, bash, python, OpenAPI spec (Swagger), VS Cod
Our CI-CD infrastructure is highly automated and runs on Azure DevOps. We are rightfully proud of how smoothly and consistently we can deliver quality software to our customers. Additionally, our delivery process gives us clear traceability from tickets, through design, code, tests and PRs, and out to automated release pipelines.
We also do a lot of hardware engineering, both prototyping with Raspberry Pis and developing our own bespoke, automotive-grade electronics.
Our interview process
As a growing company, every hire is fundamental to our future success. We are remote-first, using modern, digital tools, so the ability to communicate clearly is an essential skill for every role we recruit for. As an engineer we need you to be able to explain how things work, articulate problems you're having, and influence other members of the team when you know you're on to a winning idea!
We recruit for potential and the capabilities to seamlessly fit into the team, rather than demanding the right buzzwords on your CV. We don't expect you to have exercised all the skills we need (else how does anyone get a break?) but a successful candidate should be able to convince us that they can do the job.
This is our interview process

We will review your CV and any other information you provide such as your GitHub account, LinkedIn profile and any community projects you've worked on. We also ask that you review all of our digital platforms and social channels to gain a solid understanding of our company as well.
