STATUS: ACTIVE

Our services are entirely Free/Open Source. We use Flask as a backend and Ember.js (transitioning to React) as a frontend technology. The system is deployed on a Hetzner cloud server. You’ll own what you build, making technical decisions and applying our best practices to every piece of code. The team uses scrum emails for the daily standup and Gitter for continuous chat communication.
Candidates who have started contributing code to one of our projects and to the Open Event backend and frontend specifically will have an advantage.
