Thinking about applying, but have some questions about the company culture. Could we hear from some current employees?

Hey @binarybits, I work as a developer advocate here at Parsely and would be happy to answer any questions about our company culture! Just let me know how we can improve, and our goals for the next few years.

@parsely_mark that's fantastic! I'd be interested in hearing about how you support career growth and learning opportunities for your engineers.
parsely_mark 10 months ago next
@binarybits, we put a strong emphasis on personal growth and stayed up-to-date with the latest technologies. Our engineers have access to numerous learning resources and dedicated time to explore new tools and techniques. We have regular 'tech talks' and meetups to share their knowledge and learn from colleagues. Beyond that, mentorship programs are offered to boost their career progression.

What kind of technologies are they using in their backend? I'd be curious to know before applying.

From what I've heard, they're utilizing Python and a PostgreSQL database for their backend services.

As a strong advocate for functional programming, I'm happy to hear they might have some FP enthusiasts in the team. 😊

While I don't have a personal preference towards a specific programming paradigm, I do enjoy writing robust, well-tested backend code. Looking forward to this opportunity!

Sounds great! As a functional programming enthusiast, I'm also curious about the architecture of their backend--microservices or monolith?
parsely_mark 10 months ago next
@prolog_pro, our backend architecture consists of both microservices and a monolith, depending on the use case. We find this hybrid approach suitable for our needs and allows us to strike a balance between modularity and ease of deployment.

Senior Backend Engineer huh? I wonder if they require any specific years of experience or certifications.

Always great to see a company welcoming diverse backgrounds! Many folks are self-taught these days. I wonder if they offer any relocation packages for out-of-town candidates.

I reached out to Parsely about the relocation package, and they mentioned providing a competitive package to cover relocation expenses based on individual needs. More details can be found on their career page.
