WHO WE ARE

: DebtBook is the financial platform powering treasury and capital markets across the public sector. State and local governments, public universities, health systems, and the bankers and advisors who serve them run trillions of dollars in debt, cash, and investments on DebtBook. We've built the most sophisticated treasury platform in public finance — sitting at the intersection of treasury management and a $4 trillion fixed income market that's been waiting for modern infrastructure.

HOW WE WORK: Our application is a Majestic Monolith built with Ruby on Rails, React, and PostgreSQL. Our app is hosted in AWS, and we use GitLab for our CI/CD pipelines and deployments. We use feature flags to allow us to continually integrate our code.

Our front-end is built with React, TypeScript, and MUI React. We have an in-house library of accessible components that is documented in StoryBook. Most of the components are built out and being used in new development, and we are in the process of implementing them throughout existing parts of the application.

Our back-end is a Ruby on Rails JSON API that communicates with a React SPA (single page application). All of our engineers work on the front-end, back-end and database. We have some engineers who are much more experienced in one, but we can all do some work in any part of the stack.

We have a small dedicated infrastructure team, but our teams deploy and monitor their own code. Engineers collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and industry specialists to understand problems and design solutions. Engineers write and manage breaking down work into tickets and owning the tickets.
