Qualities We Value

Irrespective of role and level, we value the following qualities in Software Development:

We Value Fungibility We prioritise hiring engineers who are versatile generalists rather than specialists. Our ideal engineers can solve problems at scale using first principles and can tackle issues across diverse domains. They can move seamlessly between teams with minimal ramp-up time, meeting the changing business requirements of SFT and the clusters we support.

We Value Strong Ownership We believe in taking full responsibility for our work. Engineers at our company understand that the buck stops with them, never saying "that's not my job". We are a DevOps environment, and our engineers deploy and operate the products they own in production. They care deeply about the customer experience and are committed to ensuring that their contributions meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.

We Value Teamwork and Collaboration We emphasise the importance of teamwork and collaboration in everything we do. Our engineers work together to achieve common goals, share knowledge, and support one another. We believe that a collaborative environment creates a sense of belonging, fosters innovation, improves problem-solving, and enhances the overall success of our projects.

We Value Leaders Leadership potential and ability are crucial to our success. We look for engineers with strong soft skills, excellent communication abilities, and a team-player mentality. Good culture fit, a collaborative and mentoring spirit, knowing when to ask for help, and demonstrating humility are all key traits we value in our leaders. These qualities enable our engineers to inspire and guide their peers, contributing to a positive and productive work environment.

We Value Automation We focus on automating away manual processes. Our engineers automate all aspects of the software development and operations lifecycle. This includes automated testing at all levels (unit tests, integration tests and testing the customer experience in production), automated deployments, and automated monitoring and alarming in production.
