Work/Life Harmony
Every member of our team is an exciting individual with a unique life of their own. We know that work is only one of the many parts in our lives.

Although we are spread globally across the world we work together to accommodate a flexible set up for all our team members.

Some of us start the day early while others prefer to come in late, and that's okay as long as we get enough time together to sync up and collaborate throughout a typical week.

On-Call Responsibility
As a team we all share on-call responsibilities.

We don't like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant.

When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don't get paged for the same issue twice.

Mentorship & Career Growth

Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members in an environment that acknowledges and celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.

Our senior engineers mentor more junior engineers through one-on-one mentoring and collaborating across design, implementation, and reviews.
We care about your career growth.

We try to assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

We also give every engineer the time and space they need to take trainings and work on their personal growth.

Inclusive Team Culture
Our team is eager to attract and welcome amazing people from any kind of background. We believe that diverse perspectives in the team help everyone's personal growth and make us more successful together.

Yes, we do get to build a really cool service, but we also think a big reason for that is the inclusive and welcoming culture we try to cultivate every day.

We are looking for engineers who are enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers; someone who will help us amplify the positive and inclusive team culture we've been building, while being excited to solve database problems and getting things done.
