For tech companies, this means not only picking the best languages and frameworks to build a product, but also communication and project management platforms to keep the business running. These allow employees to be efficient and effective, focusing on the tasks most essential to the organization’s mission without distractions and roadblocks. And if you’re looking for a new tech job, knowing what a company uses can provide a glimpse inside a company’s structure and culture, and help you decide if they’re a good fit for you.
For the month of September, Technical.ly’s reporting has explored the theme of The Tech Behind for our editorial calendar. For some additional perspectives, we asked our Technical.ly Talent companies the following question:
What applications and platforms does your org rely on to do business (i.e. Slack, CRMs, project management software, etc)?
Here are some replies from their teams, and if you like what you see, follow the links to companies’ Culture Pages to learn more and explore ways to connect.

“At CubeSmart, we leverage several platforms to efficiently operate our business as well as engage in innovative ways with our customers. Our strategy is to adopt off the shelf tools that drive commodity services while building technologies that differentiate CubeSmart in the marketplace. Our engineering team has formed strategic partnerships with providers including Amazon Web Services and Microsoft to leverage their suite of cloud products.

Engineers who have joined CubeSmart are able to follow an agile delivery model across a diverse set of products while expanding their knowledge base and broadening their technology skill set.” — Amy Cross, senior vice president of information technology
Fastmail
For as little as $3 per month, the Australia-based independent email provider offers completely ad-free products and services — unlike “free” email providers that get paid by selling your data to advertisers. Your inbox stays clear of unwelcome solicitors, and your privacy intact.
“Before Fastmail launched our Masked Email integration with 1Password, we were already fans. 1Password is an excellent tool for security, with excellent UX that’s great for everyone.
We’re also heavy users of Linear for task and project management. It’s a highly-flexible tool with a great interface that’s slightly opinionated in just the right way. We also really appreciate their API — and use it extensively!” — Joe Woods, senior plumbing lead
