How do we work together?

• Strong empowered & autonomous teams able to make decisions needed to work effectively and self-determine technical & product direction based on facts
• Taking massive pride, ownership and accountability for all work without being a perfectionist; done is better than perfect
• People who are multipliers of others; being a team player and great collaborator is better than raw talent.
• Shared success; we succeed together when our customers are successful, when the team is successful and when the company is successful.
• Strongly debating your case with facts & data and having the integrity to make a commitment to decisions and move forward owning them as if they were your own
• Having the humility to make new decisions when we learn more; no decision should be forever, though we should be mindful of the decisions which are easy to change and the ones which are harder to change
• We optimize for developer experience; machines are less important than people. Our systems & code should reflect that and show empathy to other engineers and ourselves. Simple is better than smart.
• Frequent and small changes, shipping multiple times per day and developing in the open.
• Our engineers collaborate very closely, using pair programming, even though we don’t follow it religiously, it is a tool that allows us to streamline feedback loops for code review and make us more effective
• We have vertical ownership and own our domain segment end-to-end, the APIs, the UI & UX, analytics, deployment, monitoring, and observability. We build it, we run it, we own it.
• We support our software by employing a healthy on-call policy
• Team metrics are important to us though they are not the goal – we’re keeping track of cycle time, lead time, deployment frequency, mean time to restore, planned vs unplanned work to name a few – understanding this helps to keep us focused on valuable customer outcomes
• In all work we apply a DevOps mindset and take ownership of testing & QA within the team; we take care in how we write quality software, how we deploy reliable software, and how it’s compliant & secure
