Engineering at VitalConnect:

• We believe in small, accountable and autonomous teams of amazing people, eager to learn, teach and constantly improve our way of working.
• We are very frank on discussing technical matters. If one disagrees with how things are being done, we encourage them to speak up and help us get to the truth faster.
• We work in an environment where it matters to make the right design decisions the first time, and as a result, take on less technical debt than other companies.
• Product is a highly collaborative initiative across multiple teams. Engineers are expected to understand and have product input, designing systems towards our long-term product vision.
• We'd rather have one strong engineer, instead of having 5 average engineers. Our customers are fine with fewer features, but are not ok with broken features.
• People have a strong sense of ownership and accountability for what they’re building. What we build today will be the foundation for dozens of other systems in the future.
