Owning our own technology means we can also innovate faster - and keep making things better.

The members of our Engineering team are the architects and builders of Say's technology. Engineers work with a variety of programming languages: JavaScript, Python, Perl, Java, HTML, CSS. Digging deep in code is where the real magic happens. Our team is driven by creativity, embraces hard work, promotes collaboration, and focuses on solving important problems. We also foster learning, we are not afraid of making mistakes, and encourage risks, as we understand change.
