  • They Win We Win - Above all else no other metric matters more to measuring our performance as an Engineering organization than Customers succeeding through our product. We build for them not ourselves.
  • Bias for Action - When you see a problem you can solve fix it. We dont wait for someone else to tell you its your job we seize the initiative. For major architectural changes features or anything that affects other teams work we give people a heads up but dont wait for consensus to start exploring solutions.
  • Shared Ownership - We all own the outcomes not just our individual pieces. When something breaks we focus on fixing the system together rather than finding whos at fault. Mistakes are inevitable how we handle them as a team defines us.
  • Transparency First - We emphasize keeping engineering discussions and topics in the public forum not tucked away in DMs or private channels. Those spaces are specifically for conversations that cannot be had elsewhere.
