Engineering at Gigs

Gigs is building a modern tech stack for telecom. We offer phone and data plans through an API and white label UIs. Join us and build a phone plan you’ll love.

The tech stack, in our own words

We asked our Engineering team to explain their tech stack.
Here’s what they’d like you to know:

We’re building a great API for developers and companies who want to embed connectivity into their own apps and services.

For us, that means focusing on performance, consistency and careful abstractions to support more use cases. It also means maintaining world-class documentation via our OpenAPI spec.

On the backend, our core API is written in Ruby, and we have supporting services in Go. We’re actively looking to use Go for more of our new code.

On the frontend, we use Next.js with Typescript.

We’re hosted on GCP, and our event-driven architecture makes heavy use of PubSub. Most of our infrastructure is automated with Terraform. We use GitHub for collaboration and CI.

Life at Gigs

If you love what you do, you should love where you do it. We’ve always been a distributed company, and we’ll stay that way.

Visit Gigs Pads

We don’t require you to be in the office, but we do facilitate work travel to our physical spaces. Every Gigs Pad has free bedrooms for visiting Gigsters, making it easy to organise co-located meetups and workshops.

Gigs Hubs

Work and living spaces in San Francisco, London and Berlin, modeled on private clubhouses. Switch up your vibe from ergonomic desks and monitors to community tables and cushy armchairs. Oh, and we appreciate good art, good plants and good snacks.

San Francisco

The hub with the view, SF overlooks the city from Telegraph Hill. We couldn’t have chosen a more fitting spot. Watch the sun set over the Golden Gate Bridge with your team.

Berlin

Located on a tree-lined street close to trendy Rosenthaler Platz, in easy reach of the best restaurants, cafes, bars and parks Berlin has to offer.

London

Right in the heart of Soho, just a short walk from London’s West End theater district, Chinatown and some of the world’s best shopping streets.

Gigs Republic

Our legendary offsites happen twice a year. Despite being a dispersed team, we create regular opportunities for everyone to come together for a week of quality in-person time.
