How We Work Together

Managers are servant leaders: they remove obstacles, not dictate solutions

We expect you to empower engineers to own their work end-to-end

Success is measured in team outcomes and sustainability, not individual heroics

Joining a pairing session to understand context and offer feedback (not to gatekeep)

Coordinating a cross-team dependency or aligning on an architecture change

Hiring activities: interviewing, feedback, and improving our hiring signal

Running or improving a retro, turning insights into small, actionable experiments
