We’re a rapidly-growing, fast-paced team that thrives on challenge. We love taking on the hardest challenges the industry has to offer, and proving that collaboration and communication wins, every time.
Our values
Being human
We’re welcoming, approachable and friendly, working in a mutually supportive way, where our default question is ‘how can I help?’ We show compassion and kindness to ourselves and others, building strong relationships and celebrating successes.
Challenge accepted
Pushing the boundaries and tackling challenging problems is at the heart of the company. We know that taking risks means that sometimes things fail, and that’s ok. But driven by curiosity, ingenuity, persistence and expertise, we step into the unknown to find a solution. When someone says ‘That’s impossible’, we say ‘Challenge Accepted!’.
Open by default
We value transparency and traceability and construct our processes around this. We share information freely and openly to help everyone understand the rationale behind decisions and why they are in the best interests of our people and company.
Speak your mind
It’s better to have ten ideas that don’t pass muster – and one that does – than not share any for fear of getting it wrong. We can put ourselves out there and voice our ideas. We always give and receive feedback constructively, helping the team work better together, and recognise achievements and success.
Autonomy
Innovation is, by nature, bottom-up. It’s not for the people in charge to come up with all the ideas. It’s only by asking everyone to contribute and listening to all perspectives, that can we progress as a company and develop the best solutions. We empower people to take responsibility, be creative, experiment and push the boundaries.
Community first
Community first means welcoming everyone, regardless of background, race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic. We also always put community first when developing our solutions – gathering only anonymous insights, eliminating personal data and innovating to be a force for good in the world.
