Want to know how we work?

Well, our amazing Service Delivery Platform consists of several cross-functional feature teams, each tackling a different problem within our business domain. We aim to keep teams co-located and self-contained, but thrive working with stakeholders from across the organization, and we know you love to have time with your stakeholders! Scrum is our methodology of choice, and we seek to continuously refine our process to suit our needs.

We feel accountable for our work, and are not afraid to take on the full DevOps responsibility for what we build. Our work culture is informal with collaboration at its center, and we believe that giving everyone a chance to be heard is the best way to achieve great results.
