🧑‍💻 What we are doing?

Kaizo aims to actively guide employees towards achieving their goals and making an impact at their companies.

We are building a performance development platform for customer support teams that leverages gamification and AI to improve operational efficiency, elevate teams' performance and retention with actionable goals. We are a product-led, fast-growing SaaS company with a diverse team and a globally active customer base.

• We run a microservice-based stream processing platform which processes 200+ million events every day using Akka Streams and Kafka.
• Those services are deployed to Kubernetes on Google Cloud and feed data into Elasticsearch and Mongodb.
• Our systems are designed to be reactive, e.g. responsive, resilient, elastic, and message-driven.
