Company Description

🚀 SmartRecruiters is building an operating system for recruiting and is on a mission to connect people with jobs at scale.

The system is used by over 4,000 companies, including LinkedIn, McDonald's, VISA, CD Projekt Red, Allegro, and many many more!

SmartRecruiter platform is a SaaS product hosted on AWS (and soon also GCP) and the system is composed of hundreds of independent services (each sitting on Docker, orchestrated by Kubernetes).
