How We Work

• Teams: Our cross-functional, self-organized teams comprise 5-9 engineers, a Product Manager, and a Product Designer. They continually strive for improvement, embracing flow optimization principles with management paving the road, favouring roundabouts over traffic lights. Teams are assigned full ownership of features, from discovery to development and deployment, to ensure short feedback cycles and minimize handovers. Our teams demonstrate progress bi-weekly to maintain transparency and collaboration.
• Dual-Track Agile: Our teams follow a dual-track agile approach. The Product Trio-consisting of the Product Manager, Product Designer, and Discovery Engineer-is responsible for the discovery track, while the Engineering Manager and engineers handle the delivery track. The entire team collaborates closely, sharing collective responsibility for a complete user journey.

We maintain high-quality standards, even during busy periods, without using dedicated QA engineers to ensure a continuous flow.
• DevOps Mindset: Embracing a cloud-first approach, we host everything on Microsoft Azure. Each team is accountable for deploying and monitoring their services, using Azure DevOps for backlog management, source control with short-lived feature branches, pull requests, releases, and testing.
• Automation: With 30 daily software deployments, our commitment to automation ranges from deployments to setting up new infrastructure. Custom tools aid in configuring local development environments, publishing release notes, localization workflow, and managing tasks, branches, and pull requests.
• Design: We adhere to a written coding standard and clean code principles. Most features are developed using pair programming, and all changes undergo peer review. Automated code clean-up tools ensure consistent formatting and structure.
• Learning: Our culture promotes lifelong learning. Everyone is encouraged to read books, attend conferences, take courses, and obtain certifications. We invest in personal and professional development, offering resources to support growth, including bi-weekly two days of tech time. We also actively participate in hosting and speaking at meetups.
• Career Ladder: We employ a trident career ladder, enabling Individual Contributors to progress to Senior or Lead roles within a team, Staff or Principal Engineers in the Technical Leadership Track, or Engineering Managers and Directors on the Management Track.
• Flexibility: We operate under a hybrid work model. We believe in fostering human connections to build happiness, trust, and resilience. This includes accommodating personal needs outside of work and providing an environment conducive to deep concentration.
