What you can expect: our methodology

We highly value the analysis phase on software delivery. We're putting a heavy emphasis on upfront technical designs, team reviews, and smart slicing. You can expect to focus on quality, which we believe drives the velocity our customers need. We think success comes from a space where you're given time, support, and autonomy to improve yourself, our systems, and our processes. Our lean toolbox enables you to monitor your constant improvements (PDCA) in a collaborative way with your peers and manager. Our engineers, working in cross-functional teams, dedicate themselves to one feature at a time. We value the efficiency and productivity of our engineers: that's why we provide each of our engineers with licenses for Cursor or Copilot, enabling them to focus on what they do best—coding innovative solutions.
