The Platform Tribe builds and operates the platform that Preply engineers develop and deploy on, and that millions of learners and tutors rely on every day.



Our platform handles over 20bln requests per month, and we combine software engineering, distributed systems and cloud infrastructure to keep it reliable at scale while making it faster and easier for engineering teams to build on top of it.

Our focus is on:
- Reliability at scale: maintaining high availability while traffic continues to grow.
- Platform scalability: evolving the systems that support Preply as our product and engineering organisation grow.
- Developer productivity: building core services and tooling that help engineers ship safely and quickly - we run 100+ successful production deployments every business day.
- Efficient infrastructure: improving performance and reliability while making thoughtful FinOps trade-offs.

We work in small teams with significant ownership, so you’ll have a real say in architecture, technical decisions and how our platform evolves.
