This is Our Team
Our team is turning the vision of making homes smarter, greener, and ultimately, better places to live into reality.
We develop diagnosis and monitoring web applications, that are helping consumers to get the best out of their heating appliances and supporting technicians with the information to complete their maintenance tasks, reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
We combine different skills, tastes, interests, and experiences into a culture that loves to challenge the status quo, looks for perfection in the little details, and deeply cares about making lives easier for the people using our products. And almost all our jokes are funny.
This team gets it done because:
* Engineers affect the backlog, adjusting priorities and scope of user stories, or adding technical items to it;
* We collaborate with other teams’ developers, to discuss and clarify doubts, or to solve bugs together;
* All our code goes through pull requests and through a battery of tests at several layers;
* We deploy to production weekly and with a click of a button;
* We have daily touchpoints for the team to meet and stay connected remotely;
* We have weekly sessions of knowledge sharing;
* We talk with customers and their needs are at the forefront of all our developments;
* Engineers own all the processes, from the customer need to the deployment and scaling of the solution;
* We split into smaller teams during development to decrease the number of topics tackled by each developer and reduce context-switching;
* We launch feature experiments with ideas from the team;
* We go out of our own way to make everyone feel safe to contribute with their own ideas;
* We strive for quality in everything we do, from the format of a log message to the position of a button, we want to get details right;
* We play board games together;
* Focus times are a priority and our calendar reflects that: 80+% of mornings/afternoons without meetings.
