    What we do in in Platform – Product and Tech at AVIV

    The Platform Domain at AVIV group is part of the Product & Tech organization and its objective is to create the No. 1 marketplace in Europe to support consumers in all their real-estate projects. In the heart of the system, Platform teams intend to provide basis to the other domains of the group. Therefore the field of activities and expertise in that domain is wide. It includes data ingestion and management and internal tools.

    All the technical documentation aiming at providing an overview of our systems will be accessible in a developer portal called Backstage. This tool will help us list the applications, websites, and APIs we develop, as well as describing their ecosystem and tooling.

    • Ensure Backstage can provide value, and where;
    • Build tools and plugins to ensure using and administrating Backstage is as smooth as possible;
    • Provide a walkthrough to bring teams to use Backstage;
    • Support engineers to integrate Backstage in their applications ; 
    • Analyze tool usage and focus effort on the most valuable features.
