About Us

We solve hard problems by engineering

We design and implement systems which can scale to millions of users and hundreds of queries per second, while staying simple, flexible and elegant.

We do things fast

We launch and iterate quickly; usually in just a few weeks we go from an initial idea to launching a first version.

We build products millions of users love

We put a lot of thought and effort into building our products and enjoy using them ourselves. It is rewarding to get direct feedback and requests from thousands of users after a launch.

We use cutting edge technologies

We solve problems using technology and enjoy working with powerful open source software like Ubuntu, git, eclipse, Android, GWT, Jetty, Cassandra, Protocol Buffers, LevelDB, Guava, Graphite, and haproxy. We keep learning and evaluating new technologies to stay ahead.
