We meet each other at least twice per year during in-person sprints to nurture cross-team relationships.

We invest in people who are self-driven, motivated and highly organised. We take our responsibility for the most critical elements of open infrastructure very seriously, and we are committed to quality in every aspect of our product and services.

We value those who take ownership of their area and take opportunities to be exceptional.
