Culture

How we work, internally.

The internal practices that keep the bar high. None of these are radical; they're the working agreements small senior teams quietly converge on when they stick around.

One project, one principal.

Every engagement has a principal engineer who's accountable end-to-end. No shared accountability, no diffused ownership.

RFCs before code.

Non-trivial decisions are written down, reviewed, and archived. The artifact survives the conversation.

Pairing is normal.

Not constant. Frequent. Especially on architecture, on-call playbooks, and the parts of the system nobody understands yet.

On-call is paid and finite.

Engineers take on-call. It's paid as on-call. It's bounded. Nobody is "always available."

Postmortems without blame.

Every incident gets one. They're shared internally. They feed into the next architecture choice, not the next perf review.

Sabbaticals exist.

Senior engineers get six paid weeks off every four years. We've yet to find a better engineer retention practice.

Hiring

We hire rarely. We onboard slowly.

Most of our hires come through introduction from existing engineers. We almost never grow more than one head per quarter. Tenures are long, ramp-ups are real, and the bar stays predictable.

If you're a senior engineer who's tired of agency dynamics (quality drops, swap-outs, broken commitments), the careers page is where to start.

Talk to the engineers you'd actually work with.

Pre-sales is a conversation with the same people who'd run the project. Not a sales engineer. Not an account manager.
