Senior Backend Engineer - Google Cloud

All of Strise runs in Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

For our backend services, Scala is the main programming language. But we also occasionally use Python.

We use gRPC and Google Pub/Sub to communicate between services.

For external communication, we opt for GraphQL.

Our services typically run in Kubernetes (GKE), but we’re also exploring a move towards a more serverless setup with Cloud Run.

All of our infrastructure is Terraformed.

One of our core tech principles is to offload as much tech as possible to managed services, effectively making it someone else's problem. We are heavy users of GCP native offerings such as Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Cloud Pub/Sub etc.
