Our ValuesHere is what we identify as our team culture and how those attitudes translate into our daily practices. We are looking for people whose personal values have an overlap with these. We value

Customers. By understanding peoples’ goals, needs and their limitations. Everything we build and change, everything we do, we do for the people using our product.Diversity, pluralism and freedom of choice. We think differences, not uniformity, in origin, circumstance and experience make people, the practice of software development and in the end, our product interesting. We believe it takes a diverse set of people to produce a product truly useful for everyone.Ownership. Instead of hiding behind processes, or driving relentlessly towards individual goals, we take ownership of the entire situation. We do that when things go smooth but also when things go wrong. No matter if they were in, or out of our control. No matter if that hurts and bruises our ego. It was never anyone else’s fault, it was ours. We believe ownership is respect.Responsibility. By taking charge of our objectives and priorities. By speaking our minds, by being honest and frank with each other. We are the change we want to see.Collaboration. By working together toward goals, in a horizontal structure with flexible leadership. We do not only share results with each other, but how we get there. We constantly reflect our thoughts, communication and behavior and how they bring everyone else forward. We win together, we lose together.Quality. By taking due time, avoiding shortcuts, pacing ourselves. By being critical of what we do and by welcoming critique from others. We always leave our code base, processes and team better than we have found it.Community. By curiously exploring what other people inside and outside this industry think, do and produce. We expose ourselves to all kinds of ideas and openly share our own views with others.Learning. We strive for personal growth by continuously learning about other people, technology, development methodologies and efforts. We are open minded, always evolving adventurers.
