Thanks for posting this! It’s great when our users are excited about our product :-)

If anyone is interested, we are hiring engineers and PMs! In particular, we’re looking for senior backend engineers and full stack engineers.

It would be cool to know the tech stack you guys use to handle such heavy loads.

Our stack isn’t super novel. We’re trying to make sure we don’t write ourselves into a corner with a stack that no one else uses, so we use Typescript/NodeJS + Kubernetes for much of our backend services, and Python for our ML pipelines

On the client side, we use Typescript and Electron, which allows us to have most engineers work across the entire stack and cross-platform
