Is your company a fit?
- We work with companies that deliver software, across most industries, and are inlined with our mission. We avoid crypto engagements.
- Our approach is to focus on both effectiveness and sustainability. Companies that treat employees like resources or cogs aren’t going to be a good fit.
- We focus on companies with 10-499 engineers. We have experience outside of both ends of that, however, so feel free to contact me if you want to explore a fit.
