      How we work

          * Healthy expectations

              We're remote friendly, because wonderful teammates can come from anywhere. We have 3 offices, and trust that people will use the offices or work from elsewhere depending on what works best for them.

              It’s not a strict 9 to 5 workplace. Team members can work hours that fit their schedules allowing for collaboration with peers and clients across time zones. We're always improving how we communicate across time and distance, and do our best to respect the working hours of everyone in our wide-ranging set of time zones where team members live.

              We give clear guidance on minimizing notifications from services like slack and github, including turning off notifications during non-work hours.

          * Good ideas come from all of us

              Ideas that improve how we work and what we produce can come from anyone, and we trust each other to make decisions. With that decision-making power comes the responsibility of clearly documenting decisions before acting on them, as well as documenting the results of that work.

              We approach building the organization much like we approach building projects with our partners. We conduct user research to better understand the goals and challenges of team members.

              We scope out potential directions collaboratively, encourage input from the whole team, and build a vision for what we want to achieve together. We organize small teams to execute quickly on that vision.

          * Growth & learning is part of the work

              We actively examine how we work, what issues team members are facing, and how to best support and encourage the growth, confidence, and safety of everyone on the team. We use recurring 1:1s, mentorship, and learning plans to encourage personal and professional growth.

              Team members are encouraged to learn new skills, lead projects, and are given the space and autonomy to make decisions about their work. When possible, we form project teams in part based on the learning goals of individuals, allowing them the opportunity to learn while doing. We also have internal labs projects that can be used to try new things that advance the growth of individuals and the organization.

          * Embrace Differences

              We believe that our differences are the core of our talent. Our global team has a unique set of perspectives, talents, insights, and experiences. This drives our creativity and innovation.

              At Development Seed, we are deeply committed to each other and to our broader community. We love and support each other and act with respect and integrity.

      The guiding principles of how we work

      Who we want to join the team

          * Collaborate

              Working as a team makes us stronger than any individual developer. You write clear Github tickets and communicate effectively on Slack and in-person.

          * Learn

              Our technology approach is dynamic, focusing on the most effective solutions rather than just current trends. In some roles we require knowledge of specific languages, frameworks, or tools if they're the ones that best fit the need, otherwise we want to see you demonstrate you're able and excited to learn new ways to build.

          * Create for user impact

              You create projects focused on both performance and maintainability. You write detailed documentation before, during, and after project implementation. You create projects with user needs in mind.

          * Care about the world and believe that we can do better

              Social change is the foundation of everything we do. You are impatient about solving the world’s toughest challenges.
