Engineering Manager

About Us

Our applications are built primarily using Node.js, TypeScript (Vue.js), and Postgres, with some legacy systems on Ruby on Rails, Python, and MySQL (RDS).

• We support and help one another to achieve our goals - we love pair programming. 
• We acknowledge that innovation can come from anyone - we value curiosity, creativity, courage, and playfulness. 
• Our motivation stems from having clarity of work and autonomy. 
• We are a very mission driven company and believe that we need to champion the champions to help the next generation. 
• Constructive feedback, giving kudos for work well done, and encouraging one another helps us grow. 
• We are domain driven, domain focused, and domain structured. 
• We take ownership in the full lifecycle of our work: discovery, development, quality control, release, and post launch maintenance. 
• Continuous Delivery allows us to move fast; Cool down sprints allow us to breathe.
