Problems we are Solving:

• We're building a cloud orchestration framework to execute complex engineering workflows across multiple cloud providers.
• We provide an additional layer of reliability, fault tolerance, and tuning for HPC applications which were not originally designed to run on cloud hardware.
• We are helping engineering companies figure out the best way to incorporate machine learning algorithms into their design lifecycle.

Tech Stack:

• Javascript - React/Angular
• Python - Django Rest Framework
• (Modern) Java - Dropwizard
• Our core infrastructure runs on AWS. The compute clusters we run for customers are created on AWS, Azure, GCP, and IBM in the cloud, along with Bare Metal On-Premises data centers.

Our engineering team is broken up into smaller groups of 5-7 people with a combined full stack skill set. We try to keep meetings to a minimum: there is a daily standup and a weekly task estimation meeting. We have two week release cycles however developers are encouraged to push important features and bug fixes to production as needed. Writing clean, testable code is a point of emphasis and we use GitHub PRs to ensure a minimum quality bar and also to disseminate best practices and spread domain knowledge around.
