Our Culture
We move fast. We expect people to own problems end-to-end, not wait to be told what to do. You know best, so you need to bring a lot of creativity. We obsess over the people who use our software, from logistics planners to drivers, and we would rather ship a small improvement this week than a perfect one next year. We are direct and honest with each other, including about our own mistakes, and we hold a high bar for quality. Technical colleagues are not kept at arm's length from customers - you will talk to them directly, and use what you learn to decide what to build next.
Interested? We would love to hear from you.
