A Few Of Our Product Engineering Values

• Code with Empathy - Write your code thinking about the person who might use it next, that person might be you :)
• Don’t follow the GPS into the lake - We like when engineers are intuitive, critical and opinionated on what they want to work on and how they think things should be built.
• Remember, design debates are a way to continually improve our processes and software is a core element of our Engineering culture. We want people who strive to make things better and are always willing to learn from others.
• Don’t take all of the blame - When software breaks, we’re all on the hook. We share knowledge, responsibility, and an excitement for fixing things when we discover them.
