A little bit about our engineering culture
We love finding new ways to shorten the feedback loops, create together and make an impact. To do so, our engineering culture and practices are based on eXtreme Programming (XP), Domain-Driven Design, Lean and Continuous Delivery. We believe that the assumption behind the “Speed vs Quality” mindset is flawed and that you
can both have your cake and eat it too. For us, quality enables speed. Not in 2 years, but now.Co-creating together with others through Pair and Mob programming helps us deliver more value sooner and find joy in our work by seeking productive human connections with others. We find that engineers seeking to understand our product and business better understand the context of their work, which helps them to innovate, deliver more value to their customers and find more purpose in their work.
