We care about people and outputs.
What matters is what you ship, not the time you spend on it
Bureaucracy is where urgency goes to vanish. You talk to whoever you need to talk to. The best idea wins, whether it comes from a principal engineer or someone in their first week.
Always ask why. The best solutions come from deep understanding, not from copying what worked before
We say what we mean. Feedback is direct, timely, and given because we care.
No politics. Low ego, high standards.
We embrace an unstructured environment and find joy in it.
