Next to developers, we have a team of test-engineers focussing on testing the latest and greatest and a product department where we focus on the product from different angles (UX, Marketing, Sales and Funtionalities).

 

Our daily activities are based around a multi-tenant hosted telephony platform. It provides all basic PBX functionality, as well as multiple API’s for our customers to customize their services. The platform is a distributed system containing various open-source components, combined with a number of self-developed products. Programming languages vary; we use Java, Kotlin, Python, Ruby and others. Our platform is built with stability and scalability in mind: we operate 24/7 and currently handle around one million calls per week. The platform is deployed, maintained and tested with a variety of CI/CD automation tools.
