That said, we've had positive experiences with (and made significant investments in) the following, which does mean you'll be working with them at least in the medium term:\n\n* Erlang/OTP (using the Cowboy and Hackney libraries heavily)\n* Ruby on Rails\n* Clojure\n* PostgreSQL\n* Amazon Web Services\n\nIf this sounds like a fun challenge and your kind of environment, drop us a line and let's talk! \n\nPlease mention the words **BROOM LOVE MOON** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xMDg=).
