About Our Team

We are a diverse team of developers that cover the end-to-end DevOps lifecycle of a wide range of internal
and public-facing applications that are built in-house and self-hosted on GLEIF infrastructure.

Our primary tech stack includes Laravel, Docker, MariaDB, Redis, GitLab CI/CD, Ansible, Sentry. Knowledge
sharing, Test-driven development, documentation and an agile mindset are core tenants to the way we
grow as a team and build maintainable, quality software. We are looking to expand the expertise of the
team in the core components of the verifiable LEI (vLEI) ecosystem including KERIpy, KERIA and Signify-TS.

The team covers the full lifecycle of the applications we develop including requirement engineering,
technical design & specification, planning, implementation (TDD), documentation, release/deployment,
monitoring and maintenance. Our applications are mostly built API-first and often don't come with a
frontend or are limited to an internal dashboard written in Livewire or Vue.

We are a self-organizing team that does not compromise on quality, believes in continual learning and
taking shared ownership of what we create and the value it provides.
