General information

We are creating from scratch a new industrial IoT platform that will be used to provide best-in-class protection software for Power Grids. Our system is mission-critical to keep lights on. 
Since the project was created from scratch, we use cutting-edge technologies in practice, not just paper. In daily work, you will get hands-on experience on containerization, Kubernetes (k8s), and system designed in full-fledged microservice architecture with all its benefits and drawbacks. We cannot promise you that this will be an easy ride, but it will surely be a fun one.
Concepts like scalability, reliability, and availability are the critical base, so it is required to have basic knowledge about how they can be achieved in the microservice world.

Quality is unquestionable, so we constantly invest in test automation, starting from the Unit Test level, written in the same language as micro-services.
Our tech stack and tools include .NET 6, REST API, SLQ (PostgreSQL, SQL Server), Git, Azure DevOps, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, and Prometheus.
