Our company culture, or why you may or may not be excited about joining us:
Culture:
Strong work ethic is a significant competitive advantage
As a startup we are trying to change the world and take on many large competitors. If this were easy, everyone would be doing it. Raw hours make a huge difference when facing overwhelming odds. We believe that having a strong work ethic is a competitive advantage, and we expect everyone at Roame to put in their best effort when they’re at work.
Going above and beyond
Have an idea? Disagree with folks (founders)? Action speaks orders of magnitude louder than words, show us. Speaking up is not for everyone, but building to prove/disprove is. Our job is to delight our customers, anything to make their lives magical is in line with our mission. We got here because lightning struck the same place multiple times, but not without taking the first step. We can’t resist passion especially when it grows greater than ours.
Take ownership and be accountable
We can rely on each member of the team to get their work done. When we say we'll do something - we get it done without anyone checking in on us. This way, we can establish a culture of trust and not micromanage each other. We are as strong as our weakest link and we aim to help one another to complete our tasks.
Be Nice
We’re a family here, be nice to each other. We follow radical candor to get things done, we are a no-passive-aggressive shop, truth is hard to swallow, doesn’t mean it has to be delivered with malice. Egos are left at home, kindness is how we support each other. We are always improving at this.
Disagree and commit
We can disagree and commit. Not all of our ideas will be implemented, and sometimes the group will decide to do something one of us disagrees with. Even if we disagree with the decision, we commit to getting it done. It's counterproductive to keep arguing and slow down implementation efforts; better to get it done quickly and see if it actually works instead of speculating otherwise.
Technology
We are tech stack agnostic, however, we value two things 1. Developer productive 2. Iteration speed. For now, we're on AWS deployed via Codepipeline, using Python + Nextjs
