About the Team

We are a business operating systems team and it is easy to define what we do by our charter:- 

·         # 100% of Amagi provisioned resources are aligned with sold SKU (Sold = Deployed = Billed) 

·         # 100% of Amagi hosted services is provisioned through traceable methods 

·         # 100% accurate and automated billing for subscription and consumption based usages

Well, this is not rocket science to build! Also, it is not a smooth sail through still water given the historical blunders that we have collectively committed. So what are we trying to do - fix the past and fix for the future. We are developing a bunch of tiny, micro and full scale services to manage the business workflows within Amagi. And the languages include python, Go, Javascript/Typescript and of course our own human language. 

·         We need software engineer, not just software developer.

·         We need someone who will listen and articulate well.

·         We need someone who will figure out what to do on one's own.

·         We need someone who will make the job interesting, instead of looking for an interesting job.
