💻 Our stack
Qonto was originally built as a banking application in Ruby. The Core Banking System was then written in Golang for obvious performance reasons. We are now leveraging both languages to write our new applications.
However, not mastering Ruby and Golang is not an issue at all! A lot of Qontoers have learned since they joined us.
To help you to quickly learn and grow on our stack, beyond the documentation & pair programming, we have a specific program for you and your dedicated mentor will be there to answer all your questions.
At Qonto you’ll encounter different technologies around storage, communication, and deployment: PostgreSQL, Kafka, ElasticSearch. You’ll learn how to use Docker, Kubernetes, Grafana. You can have a closer look at our stack 👉
