Our Values
What drives us.
These values guide everything we build and every decision we make. They're not aspirational — they're how we operate today.
Integrity
We are not in this for the money or the fame. We're in this to make the world a better place. Our core principles and values permeate what we do and we refuse to steer away from them.
Uphold craft
In the world of cutting corners, we value true craftsmanship. We firmly believe that we should be deeply proud of what we build, but also how, and why we build it. We strive for excellence. We cut scope instead of quality.
Having fun
Having fun can mean being bold. Having fun can mean being weird. Having fun is human-centric and we put people first. Having fun is also necessary if you want to play the long game, and optimal for deep exploration in the form of play.
Rigor
There should always be a method behind what we do. Our theories and processes should undergo constant benchmark. Our benchmarking should be data-driven.
Empathy
Engineers serve to deliver utility to others; to do this effectively, we must be able to see the world through the eyes of others.
Ownership
We welcome responsibility. We are dependable. We put the team first.
Bias towards action
We bias towards action, even in the face of uncertainty. We favor pragmatic doing over prolonged debating. We prefer data-driven iteration to theorycrafting.
Candor
We believe in being forthright, even when that's difficult. We respect those who speak candidly, even if we disagree with what they are saying. We actively seek feedback.
Openness
We work with the garage door up to invite feedback and collaboration. We believe that openness leads to shared understanding and superior decision-making.
Curiosity
We are passionate, lifetime learners. The unknown is exciting, not scary.
Tenacity
The meaningful problems to solve are often avoided by many. We attack them directly and with grit. We recognize the importance of deep work. After all, it's a marathon, not a sprint. We gladly welcome the uneasy and the abstract.
Work responsibly
We feel a duty to things larger than ourselves. We don't merely fulfill our obligations, but actively seek ways we can help. Nothing is more important than the health of our employees, families, and communities. Building for the long-haul means building sustainably. And building sustainably means recognizing the importance of our own happiness and fulfillment within and outside of our work.
Optimism
We retain a deep and fundamental belief that better things are possible. You cannot change the world without first believing you can change the world.
