what we do

We write Clojure / ClojureScript, Elixir, Go with a dash of Haskell /PureScript, Javascript, Java and Ruby / Rails where those languages make sense.

We've spent significant time scaling and squeezing runtime performance out of Postgres and analytics performance out of HBase and Redshift. Most of our code is on the backend, and it makes a lot of sense to us to write backend code in a LISP on the JVM, but we're not wedded to it. Best tool for the job applies at nilenso, but the best tool needs to be quantified with facts.

We might be knee-deep in Swift or Rust or C (who knows) next year and we're looking for other open-minded developers to share their excitement with us.

our philosophy

nilenso is an employee-owned cooperative. This means, we are a completely transparent organisation that believes in self governance.

Being a part of nilenso means that there are no corporate secrets: we go out of our way to inform everyone in the company of our financial position, salaries and future plans. Everyone in the company has authority and autonomy. Everyone with authority is responsible for how they wield it.
