We’re building an incredible engineering team, who can produce the equivalent of what teams ten times our size can do. We love what we’re building, we love driving efficiency into inefficient markets and we love the disruption that we’re bringing to multiple verticals. We’re driven by efficiency, by technology, by quality design, by producing quality code that sits at the cutting edge of our industry and by smashing records and expectations with our products. We live and breathe our business daily, we tell our friends and family about it, we tweet about it, we meet up at weekends to talk about our latest ideas. The team love cracking challenging problems and I personally love working with smart engineers who can help us grow individually and contribute to the knowledge and experience of the team.
