Practicalities

  • Our tech-stack includes Python, Django, Tailwind, Hotwire, Postgres, S3, Redis, Docker and Linux.

  • We use GitHub for code reviews, and for running the test suite automatically. 

  • Our monolith app runs in docker on production and on our development machines. 

  • We adopt a pragmatic approach to our codebase, weighing the trade-offs between speed and completeness. While we make use of type hints occasionally, we prioritize flexibility and appreciate developers who can thrive in varied coding environments. 

  • We value asynchronous work and have weekly check-ins to keep us aligned. 

  • Built by experienced technical founders with deep expertise in machine learning and data science, Ento is a place where you are surrounded by people who can help you hone your craft and grow with the job.
