Pragmatism

We focus on work that drives business value and gets us closer to accomplishing our mission. We don't solve problems that we don’t have, and we don’t build technology for technology's sake.

Simplicity

We are always thinking “is there less I can do to solve this problem?”. We excel at delivering tools and products that hide complex problems behind simple abstractions.

Relentlessness

We work intensely and creatively to deliver solutions on time with high quality. We are unwilling to let ourselves be blocked or stuck, because our mission is important, and we care strongly.

Collaboration

A diverse set of viewpoints and strong teamwork lead to better solutions. We maintain a fun, inclusive and psychologically safe environment, and we value constructive debate and discussion, intellectual honesty, and getting to truth via the Socratic method.

Ownership

We work with other teams to understand the business, design new solutions, and provide constructive feedback to improve products. We don’t just take orders or build to specs; instead, we proactively participate in the discussion to decompose problems and build solutions.

Excellence

When we hire (and when we evaluate ongoing performance) we maintain high expectations in the areas of technical ability, execution, mission alignment, and adherence to our engineering team and company values.
