Software Engineers at Gr4vy collaborate across product, engineering, design, and other stakeholders. We work in short two week sprints & regularly share, reflect on and iterate on our work. Our platform uses Python and the FastAPI framework along with React and Typescript for most of our frontend. We use unit, integration and acceptance tests to drive design and keep everything working.

A global identity is in Gr4vy’s DNA, with employees currently spanning Europe and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Our Fine Print

We choose laughter first. Sometimes our standups veer into debates about food, family (furballs included), and unlimited lifehack fails. We’re committed to learning, to advocating, and to doing better for our customers and ourselves, every day.
