- Embark on your own self-driven career path with opportunities for positions like tech lead or client-facing roles to drive product features.
- Work on many different projects and cross-pollinate all the lessons and solutions.

- Get together in person once a year for a company off-site.
- Indulge in the freedom to design your own work schedule; whether that includes a four day work week, evening hours, or whatever suits you and your lifestyle, so long as it's clearly communicated.
- You get access to Paul & Marius, two of the brightest minds in engineering & consulting.
