Nice-to-have:s

Some intro here is needed.

A lot of our tech stack is concerning our user-faced web platform, but we also build advanced systems for modeling and handling large volumes of data. The main language for the web platform is JavaScript, with React as our standard frontend client and Node for backend. We love GraphQL and everything from the Apollo toolbox. In terms of databases we enjoy Postgres, and we use GCP and Github for infrastructure/CI/CD and versioning. Our product management tool is Notion, which we're all very pleased with and dedicated to. For communication we mainly use Slack, integrating with other relevant tools such as Google's suite of Drive, Mail and Calendar, but also many bots for different purposes.

If you have experience from any of these tools, it's beneficial. If you enjoy working with JavaScript, we think you will enjoy your time at Skira.
