We have organized the RELEX Work to cross-functional teams around domains.

All services use TypeScript as the main language: React in the frontends and NodeJS in the backends. These services also interact with other services over JSON API’s, most notably with the main backend service built with Elixir/Phoenix and PostgreSQL as the main technologies.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Depending on your interests and skills the position can be more frontend focused, or also involve backend development.
