We're now partnering with bigger brands to take these tools to a global scale and are working to integrate our technology in a range of big-brand websites and factories throughout the world.

All of our backend code is written in Python, from our Django-based websites, through to our knitting machine compilers.

We practice continuous deployment, using Docker on AWS.

We're looking for a number of developers to help us out across our full product range. Prior knowledge of knitting is not required!
