You&rsquo;ll find high trust, high standards, and a team driven by curiosity, ownership, and long-term thinking.</p><p>
Our culture is shaped by our values in action:</p><ul>
<li>
<b>AI-native thinking:</b> Every teammate thinks in agentic workflows, uses AI tools daily, and looks for leverage through automation. AI isn&rsquo;t just what we build, it's how we operate.</li>
<li><b>Customer obsession:</b> We build with urgency and empathy, speak to customers early and often, and measure success through their outcomes.</li>
<li><b>Speed as a habit:</b> We ship fast, learn faster, and prioritize unblocking over perfection. We favour small experiments with tight feedback loops.</li>
<li><b>Leverage-focused execution:</b> We hire high-impact players, invest in the 20% that drives 80% of results, and value candid feedback.</li>
<li><b>Highly aligned, loosely coupled:</b> We align on outcomes, not tasks. You&rsquo;ll work independently, but never in isolation.</li>
<li><b>Data-driven, human-guided:</b> We seek clarity over comfort, speak up early, and use feedback to grow together.</li>
</ul><p>
If this sounds like the kind of work you want to do and the kind of team you want to grow with, we&rsquo;d love to hear from you!</p></div>
