Development culture at Jooble

At Jooble, we strive to create high-quality code. We follow the coding standards and conduct timely and effective code reviews. We apply TDD, DDD, and BDD techniques. Also, our developers often take part in pair/mob programming sessions to brainstorm ideas, design the best solutions, and share expertise within the team.

We regularly conduct Tech talks where we share knowledge and solve challenging engineering issues. And on Product Sprint Demos, we sync on the overall progress of the whole product. We carefully track the progress of tasks in Jira, which provides clarity and transparency. The team of Technical Writers keep our internal knowledge base in Confluence up to date. It is essential for the company that all employees are deeply involved in the product and are able to influence the result.

Jooble’s product from the technological perspective

Our website is built upon microservices architecture. We use the latest versions of .NET and ASP.NET Core to create new services and applications. Message queuing with RabbitMQ allows transferring data between services and applications in the most effective way. To improve application performance, we implement caching using Redis. Our main front-end framework is react.js. To balance the load across multiple site instances, we use NGINX. In a bundle with Consul, NGINX balances the traffic among several microservices instances according to setup configurations.

Massive volumes of data are stored in numerous MSSQL and PostgreSQL relational databases. Since our website is a search engine, we use Elasticsearch to access data quickly. Along with Elasticsearch, we use other instruments of Elastic Stack. For example, Logstash and Kibana allow keeping an eye on the error logs of our software.

Together with DevOps, our Developers implement the best CI/CD practices using GitLab and Jenkins. Using Prometheus, we gather performance metrics of our services and applications and then visualise them on Grafana dashboards.
