We are a team of really smart people working in a very well funded startup trying to disrupt insurance in Italy by using technology as our main competitive advantage. We employ a micro service architecture (10s of them are in production atm), Docker and AWS.

Most of our micro services are written in Elixir, we also have some Ruby, Haskell, Python and Rust in production besides a legacy Symfony 2 application, while on the front end side we are mainly using Elm.

We have a lot of automation in place, we run a pretty comprehensive test suite on Drone CI at every push and every developer can spin up QA environments that mirror our entire stack for a given feature branch (this is made possible by having all of our infrastructure managed through CloudFormation templates). All of this allows us to confidently deploy to production multiple times per day.

Our stack:

  AWS (a lot of services), CloudFlare
  OS: Amazon Linux
  EC2 instance number: from ~30 to ~100: we scale automatically a lot of times during the day and treat our infrastructure as immutable
  Infrastructure: CloudFormation + scripts
  CD: Drone CI, Docker (dev -> qa -> staging -> production)
  Container orchestration: AWS ECS
  DB: Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL, Redshift, ElastiCache Redis, DynamoDB
  Monitoring: ELK, DataDog, New Relic, CloudWatch
  Team organization: small cross functional agile teams (every team has at least one person for all of these roles: backend engineer, frontend engineer, web designer, qa engineer, devops engineer)
  Backend languages: Elixir, PHP (we're phasing it out long term), Haskell, Python, Rust, Ruby
  Frontend languages: Elm, Javascript

We're the fastest growing unicorn you've never heard of [0].

Indigo is revolutionizing agtech by offering better crops to farmers through technology. Agtech is one of the most underhyped technology trends [1] and we're serving a multi-trillion dollar marketplace services industry [2].

We're growing so fast that we have to add 35-50 engineers in 2019. Back-end, front-end, devops, data science; you name it, we need the help (including PM and UX roles - see all of them here: https://www.indigoag.com/join-us ).

Our tech stack includes AWS, Docker, Kubernetes (DevOps), Postgres (DB), Node & GraphQL (back-end), React & Apollo (front-end), and Python (data science / comp bio).

We also offer incredible perks. Free lunch (a rarity in Boston), massive commuter benefits (both MBTA and bicycling), fitness reimbursement, ample vacation; we really focus on and believe in both health and sustainability.

I'd be happy to tell you more, so feel free to PM me and I'll personally refer you to the company.
