What is Apacta?

Part of being successful in this role is being involved in the product development process with our product management team, and taking part in select product discovery processes to make sure what we’re planning to build is technically feasible.
We’re looking for someone that would like to be a big part of a small team and truly agree in our philosophy of doing great things with a small but high bandwidth team. That means we’re always looking for a simpler way to do things the right way.

We’re using a REST API to communicate with our backend, and we’re taking advantage of fully automated CI/CD pipelines - even to mobile apps. We’re always looking to make yet another incremental improvement to our process or product, and we’re looking forward to continuing improving based on your experience and feedback.
