Our Kraken Team

All technology is written and maintained by a multi-discipline engineering team of around 500 people globally. Our engineers work in super teams which are focused on key domains of our platform as well as other innovative products. This also includes server-side, client-side and mobile engineers working closely with UX experts, copywriters and designers.

Teams are empowered to choose a way of working that works for them often opting for a Kanban-like approach. Notion and Asana are then used to specify and manage work; Github CircleCI and Terraform Enterprise as part of an immutable-infrastructure continuous delivery pipeline; and Datadog Sentry and Cloudwatch to measure performance and monitor production.

Some of our coding conventions are open-source.
