How we work
We are a tech company, one that’s modern, approachable, agile and always looking for a better way of doing things. We work in small teams that have full ownership of our services from idea, design and implementation to operations and maintenance. This brings responsibility, creativity and motivation as you will be a big part in developing both existing and future products. It gets you closer to the end product and makes you proud of what you have accomplished with your impact.

The SRE chapter believes that our guiding principles sets an example, so we are users of our own tools. What we build now is crucial for Tink's long term success, so we need to stay well documented and self-serviced. We always strive to make our services and tools easy to use, constantly improving the user experience, without sacrificing security.


Tech
Tink’s platform is built on Java and Golang, we’re in AWS and we use Kubernetes for container orchestration, Apache Cassandra for large datasets and Apache Kafka for service integration, among other things. We think logging, monitoring, metrics and alerting is very important, for which we use ELK, Grafana and the Prometheus and Apache ecosystems respectively. Vault for secret management, and Terraform for our infrastructure as code.

Technical decisions are made democratically and pragmatically, so whether you're from a Go, Java or something else background should not matter.
