You'd be entering our hiring process early, as we only just kicked off our hiring wave on Dec 1, 2020. As for Parse.ly, our entire stack is in Python and JavaScript, and our team has innovated in areas related to real-time analytics, building some of the best open source tools for working with modern stream processing technologies. Our frontend team has also built one of the best-looking dashboards on the planet, using bespoke visualizations atop D3.js.
