About the Team
The engineering team at Smile.io believes in being proud of your code, owning what you ship, and embracing new tools to increase developer happiness.

We currently power over 60,000 rewards programs, reaching more than 500 million customers, and serving 1M API requests/hour. Our primary deployment languages are Ruby on Rails, React & Ember.js, but as a team, we enjoy learning new languages and technologies – so this list could change! We use Github, Slack, and CircleCI to communicate efficiently and ship code every day. We value diversity, inclusion, and belonging. It helps us build a better product, it helps us create opportunity for growth and change. It helps us enjoy the work we do and create a supportive creative environment to do our best work. It helps us to be human.
