About the Team
Our Merchant Platform Infrastructure team, part of the Merchant Platform stream, is a family of 7 Data Scientists spread out across Indonesia, India, and the United States. The gist of our role is to maintain a cloud-based environment for the Merchant Platform Engineering team to deploy services and applications for our merchant partners. Some of these services and applications include ArgoCD for Continuous Delivery and applications that manage the cloud infrastructure.
With this cloud-based environment, we can provide a stable and highly scalable platform to support the business operations and overall growth of our merchant partners. With over a million merchant partners across Indonesia conducting business around the clock, our team also provides an interruption-free environment by implementing monitoring tools to ensure the health of the systems. We also work on automation projects to support our engineering team in deploying their applications and services with greater ease. In the coming year, we plan to improve our monitoring and alert infrastructure in order to respond to system issues with greater efficiency.
As a team, we’re concerned not only with the growth of the company, but each other’s personal and professional growths, too. Along with a common drive to jump over technical barriers and provide sustainable solutions, our team bonds over our shared love for tea, movies, and TV shows. Since we work odd hours, one of our favorite ways to keep each other alert is by debating our favorite Marvel characters (are you team Iron Man or Captain America?). But not to worry, we welcome Batman fans, as well!
