Our engineering team operating principles:
- Reduce scope - the best way to ship fast is to ship less. We scope our projects as small as possible so we can reduce the work required to create value.
- Ship early - shipping early lets us get feedback from the people who are invested in the result sooner rather than later.
- Iterate and improve - we listen to the feedback after we ship early. We take the time to iterate on code until it solves the problem and we’re proud of it.
- Take ownership - sometimes we ship things that aren’t perfect. We take ownership of the code we ship to maintain and improve it.
- Drive revenue - we are always thinking about how the code we’re writing affects the top line of the company.
Anything Else?
We are serious about our core values - We Care, We Are On the Same Team, We Inspire Trust, We Go Beyond, We Ship It - if those resonate with you, and you're ready to work with a team that lives and breathes those values, we want to hear from you.
