We are a team of skilled Scala developers who like to write pure functional and clean Scala code. We are working mostly full-stack with little frontend but quite a bit of DevOps. Our stack includes a lot of OSS, like Spark, git, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and libraries including zio, cats, circe, monix, fs2, akka streams, http4s, and shapeless.
