External systems can fetch all job details and search for specific jobs using the REST API. community driven job portal for Scala jobs. 

Their spotlight from Typesafe Developer Contest is due to their commitment and hard work. Scalajobz has a well-written code and attractive UI. The high rankings on Lightbend’s website is a terrific milestone for NashTech, and is especially encouraging going forward as they continue to work on new projects and take our partners to new heights! 

NashTech is thankful to all the judges Martin, Jonas Bonér, Viktor Klang, Peter Hausel, Josh Suereth, Rod Johnson and the people who are connected with Scalajobz in any way.
