We expect all team members to contribute to good software design principles and keep each other accountable for the principles decided upon in the team.

We can teach you the frameworks and technologies, don’t worry if you don’t know it all.

Studies show that members of underrepresented communities don’t apply for jobs unless they’re 100% “qualified”. If this is part of the reason you hesitate to apply, we like you to reconsider and give it a chance. Maybe your profile fits our needs much better than you think. We look forward to receiving your application.
