About

We're engineers who think like product people.

This page isn't about our origin story or team photos. It's about why we work the way we do - and why that matters for your product.

Our Engineering Philosophy

We optimize for the three-year codebase, not the three-week sprint. Every decision considers the engineer who will maintain this code after us.

Code Quality Standards

  • Every PR gets reviewed by at least one other engineer
  • We enforce consistent patterns with linters and formatters
  • Complex logic gets documented with 'why', not just 'what'
  • We refactor continuously - small improvements compound

Testing Philosophy

  • Critical paths get end-to-end tests, not just unit tests
  • We test behavior, not implementation details
  • CI runs the full test suite on every commit
  • We measure coverage but don't worship it - 80% meaningful coverage beats 100% shallow coverage

Documentation Practices

  • Architecture decisions are documented in ADRs (Architecture Decision Records)
  • API contracts are specified before implementation
  • Runbooks exist for every production system
  • Onboarding docs help new engineers ship on day one

Tech Debt Management

  • We maintain a tech debt register with estimated payoff cost
  • 20% of every sprint is allocated to debt reduction
  • We flag debt before it becomes a crisis, not after
  • Every shortcut gets a TODO with context and a ticket

Communication Standards

Great engineering means nothing if you can't communicate it. Here's how we make sure you always know what's happening.

Weekly Async Updates

Every Friday, you receive a written summary: what shipped, what's in progress, what's blocked, and what's coming next week.

Bi-Weekly Live Demos

Working software, not slide decks. We demo real features in staging so you can see progress and course-correct early.

Dedicated Slack Channel

Direct access to the engineering team. Questions answered within the hour during business hours. No ticket queues.

Honest Timelines

We'd rather give you a realistic deadline and beat it than promise an aggressive one and miss it. No games.
