Work Culture
We expect you to work in these ways as well as encouraging and enabling these practices from others:
Collaborate : We work in crossfunctional mission driven autonomous squads that gel over time. We pair program to work better through shared experience and knowledge.
Focus on outcomes over outputs Solving a problem for users that translates to business results is our goal. Measurements focused on that goal help us to understand if we are succeeding.
Practice continuous improvement We optimize for feedback now rather than presume what might be needed in the future and introduce complexity before it will be used. This means we learn faster. We share learnings in blamefree formats so that we do not repeat things that have failed but still have confidence to innovate.
Seek to understand our users We constantly seek understanding from data and conversations to better serve our users needs taking an active part in research to hear from them directly and regularly.
Embrace and enable continuous deployment Seamless delivery of changes into an environment without manual intervention is essential for us to ensure that we are highly productive; consider resiliency; and practice security by design.
Test outsidein test first TDD keeps us confident in moving fast and deploying regularly. We want to solve user problems and so we test with that mindset writing scenarios first then considering our solution coupling tests to behavior rather than implementation.
You build it you run it We embrace DevOps culture and endtoend ownership of products and features. Every engineer regardless of their role has the opportunity to lead delivery of features from start to finish.
Be cloud native We leverage automation and hosted services to deliver resilient secure services quickly and consistently. Where SaaS tools help us achieve more productivity and betterquality results for a cheap price we use these to automate low value tasks.
We embrace difference and know that when we can be ourselves at work we are happier more motivated and creative. We want to be able to bring our whole selves to work have our own perspectives and know that we belong. As such through your behaviors at work we expect you to reflect and actively sustain a healthy engineering environment that looks like this:
A wide range of voices heard to the benefit of all.
Teams that are clearly happy engaged and laugh together.
Perceivable safety to have an opinion or ask a question.
No egos people listen to and learn from others at all levels with strong opinions held loosely.
Benefits & Perks
