Why us
How we work
At Bookboost our product and engineering team work an adaptation of the Shape Up methodology. We work in this way to ensure we are working on the most valuable unit of work at all times removing risk upfront and empowering our engineers to make technical decisions in collaboration with product and addition we work in 6-week cycles long enough to build something meaningful start-to-finish and short enough that everyone can feel the deadline looming from the start so they use the time wisely. Following every 6-week cycle we have 1-week Cooldown Weeks - a week of no product-prioritised work where engineers have the freedom to tackle that tech debt that has been bothering them for weeks or experiment with new tooling or feature improvements. We have multiple features in our product today which were born during a Cooldown Week!Our AI vision
We build with AI and we expect everyone in engineering to work with AI every day.
The job is shifting from writing syntax to designing systems. We want engineers to be architects: people who define the right abstractions shape the right interfaces and use AI to move faster without lowering the bar on quality.
