About OrderGroove
OrderGroove works with leading eCommerce companies to power subscriptions on their site with literally three lines of JavaScript and some HTTP magic (we dare you to figure how we securely communicate between domains in real time using JavaScript). The hours are long and the work is hard but its incredibly gratifying to build something from the ground up and make our clients and their customers happy. Our developers say they learn more at OrderGroove in 3 months than anywhere else in 12 months. Were generating significant revenue and are funded by well known investors and venture capitalists.
Our front-end platform is written in a pure JavaScript library we wrote ourselves and the backend is written in Python with the Django framework. We also leverage mercurial version control, distributed cloud computing technologies and MongoDB. We use the Agile methodology and use Pivotal Tracker to keep focused and productive.
