‍What do you do at Virtusize ? 

Hi, I’m Adrien and I’m a software engineer at Virtusize, which I joined almost one year ago, moving from my home country to amazing Tokyo for this job. At Virtusize, I’m working on the backend software side: how to collect the data, store it, compute it on Virtusize’s servers and send it to the webpages displayed on users’ personal computers when they are shopping online.

‍

What are some of the greatest challenges in your role ?

The most challenging task is probably to have to work with such a big amount of data, which is used on a daily basis by our app. Whereas the expression “Big Data” can sometimes be a bit baloney, from my daily work I can definitely assert that Virtusize is a Big Data company. As a Backend Engineer, it is very challenging, but also very exciting.

What did you learn at Virtusize ?

I learned a lot about technologies. Our tech team always considers and tests different stacks, including the latest ones, before choosing the right tech. But more importantly, I learned about how to work with people with different backgrounds, speaking different languages and having different work styles. It’s a great place to experience working in a multicultural environment.

What makes working at Virtusize different from your other experiences ?

I have never been working with so many different nationalities in my career: if I’m correct, I can count more than 10 different nationalities in the company among around our 25 people staff. It means a pretty big amount of different past experiences, work cultures and languages, and it enriches the company a lot.
