About the Team

We pride ourselves on being a modern software development shop. Our managers all come from software engineering backgrounds and have a natural inclination to leverage novel technologies and processes that can help our business succeed. Some highlights of what we offer:

We believe in team autonomy. Our roughly eight person teams strive to own their work from development to release and everything in-between. This includes DevOps considerations, ensuring quality through tools such as testing automation, optimizing for speed and reliability, etc. We believe in investing in and pursuing excellence. We set fixed amounts of time for addressing technical debt, advancing architecture, and providing teams the bandwidth to experiment and iterate. Work-life balance is a priority. 40-hour work weeks are the norm. We believe in career investments. Employees are encouraged to spend time learning new skills of their choosing during work hours. Each of our employees has access to their own PluralSight account. We view the diversity on our teams as a key strength. We practice Agile principles. We run two-week sprints, have embedded product ownership on the teams, use Kanban / Scrum, etc. We don’t prescribe methodologies, however, believing that each team should choose a process that they believe best fits them. We’re in the cloud. We have major applications in Microsoft’s Azure platform, have MSDN licenses, and each have a generous monthly allowance that can be used to experiment with the platform. We use a domain-based approach. Our teams each own specific pieces of the application and are entrusted to become the experts and innovators in those areas.
