Engineering at Decoded

We follow a LEAN process for software engineering.
We deploy with GCP and run on GCP using modern approaches where we favour managed services over maintaining services ourselves.
Data is stored in ArangoDB (graph database), in memory stores and good ol MySQL when needed.
Interfaces are built in React and Javascript.
Services are deployed to Kubernetes and developed in Python and/or Java.
Work is tracked using Kanban that is aligned with company OKRs and we are constantly improving our process as needed.
Communication is key and unnecessary meetings are avoided.
Engineers build, maintain and support the system. Meaning everyone is part of the on call roster and everyone participates in the SRE effort to ensure the system is always up.
We take security seriously, meaning all engineers should be security conscious.
