You have the ability to make a direct impact here. The team mentality is one of fast iteration and the focus on delivering tangible value to the customer is kept front and center. The environment rewards collaboration, growth, and empathy with the team and the product users, which means that your coworkers will care about you as much as they care about building a great product! This is a great place to grow your skills in product execution within a tight-knit team.

The rapid pace of development and focus on customer demand can sometimes lead to changes in product focus. This is a constant battle at any company, but the rapid iteration and speed here amplifies progress in any one direction. The ability to drive product focus and discern true customer need is very important in this environment.

Everyone here is hardworking, kind, organized, and just a pleasure to work with. My co-workers were curious people who frequently offered up new ideas to consider. Working on these products was a tremendous opportunity to grow my skills across the stack and beyond, from feature development and dev-ops to product management and business analysis. As an engineer, you have a lot of autonomy to make decisions you believe are best for long-term success. Personally I don’t think I’ve ever worked with a better-maintained codebase. The engineers care a lot about maintainability, and have set up truly successful systems that make development and deployment relatively painless. This allowed us to build features very quickly and address any tech debt early. We practiced industry best practices like iterative development cycles, weekly retrospectives, daily code reviews, robust automated testing and deployment pipelines, and helpful documentation.

As part of a very small product/engineering team, you'll wear many hats and do a lot of product management. If you’re averse to doing other things besides coding all day, it’s probably not the right fit for you.
