The tech stack is heavily Java/Spring-centric with emerging Kotlin adoption, but notably shows Java replacement velocity — a signal that the company is modernizing away from legacy codebases toward lighter, faster runtime environments. Hiring is engineering-concentrated (41 of 44 active roles) at senior/mid levels, with active projects spanning financial apps, microservices migration, and CI/CD tooling, aligning with their stated pain around legacy system evolution and deployment automation.
