Engineering Values: Guiding How We Build Products

• 01

  Ownership

  Smaller teams help encourage autonomy and create a more pronounced sense of ownership. Not only does this result in building features and code with more care, but it also leads to higher engagement and can contribute to overall job satisfaction.

• 02

  Integrity

  We collectively put the best interest of the business above all else in every decision we make—no matter how big or small. This also means doing right by the customer, ensuring that we meet or exceed best practices around data privacy and security.

• 03

  Persistence and Grit

  Being part of a fast-growing startup is not without its challenges. We learn from our mistakes and triumphs, we iterate and pivot when things aren’t working, and we persist no matter how difficult it might be, with our vision at the forefront of all we do.

• 04

  Bias Towards Action

  We don’t compromise quality for speed and ship fragile code that will break easily. Rather, we take initiative to move things forward quickly in ways that meaningfully contribute to the advancement of our product.

• 05

  Craft

  As technical experts in our field, we devise novel and innovative ideas that solve customer problems in a way that products from our competitors don’t. We don’t want to be great, we want to be the best.

• 06

  Teamwork

  We are all laser-focused on the priorities in front of us, and collaborating with and relying upon our peers for input, feedback, and even motivation ultimately enables us to more effectively achieve our goals.
