Company Description

SmartRecruiters is building an operating system for recruiting and is on a mission to connect people with jobs at scale. The company is growing very fast and recently hit the 1.5 billion dollar valuation. The system is used by over 4,000 companies, including LinkedIn, McDonalds, VISA, CD Projekt Red, Allegro, and many many more! 

Our engineering team solves one of the most important problems of the modern economy - connecting great people with great jobs. We believe this problem can only be solved with technology, and we developed a software platform that has supported over 100M job seekers to date (with 5M joining every month). 

SmartRecruiter platform is a SaaS product hosted on AWS (and soon also GCP) and the system is composed of hundreds of independent services (each sitting on Docker, orchestrated by Kubernetes).
