The tech stack (TypeScript, Node.js, React, Vue, AWS) reflects a contemporary SaaS architecture, while current projects reveal a company scaling beyond core product: building a revenue data warehouse, centralizing legal workflows with AI, and optimizing sales pipeline. Hiring is accelerating with sales roles leading the charge alongside engineering and product.
