WHAT THE GIGER TEAM DOES:

The Giger team builds and maintains one of Deel’s most powerful internal platforms: a sandbox system that enables engineers to develop, test, and deploy faster than ever. Giger allows product teams to spin up fully functional, production-like environments in minutes, complete with real databases, services, queues, and storage. Each sandbox is completely isolated, empowering teams to experiment freely, test infrastructure changes, and validate code safely at scale.
