This list is incomplete — the number of technologies in our projects is constantly growing, and we try to choose what best suits the task.

But in short: Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, NATS, gRPC, Beanstalkd, ClickHouse, Prometheus, Google BigQuery, OpenAPI, MySQL, MongoDB, Gin, OpenAI API.

• Experience with monitoring systems and metrics
• Knowledge of Docker and ability to containerize applications
• Experience optimizing SQL queries
• Experience with at least one NoSQL solution (Redis, MongoDB)
• Ability to work both independently and in a team
