Book a callMost decisions in the world are still made on guesses, because a real answer costs too much and arrives too late. We are building toward a world where anyone with a serious question can afford a useful answer.
A large part of the work now is making things better for the people who already chose us. They have lived with rent-seeking software for decades, and raising that bar takes taste in what to build and judgment in how to build it well.
Our ambition grows every quarter.Yours has to keep up!
Our Principles
Decisiveness is the ability to exercise good judgment under incomplete information, at speed.
01.
Be thoughtful. Try to be useful, not clever.
02.
Be earnest. Try sincerely and work very hard.
03.
Be decisive. You are allowed to make mistakes, but you are not allowed to coast.
04.
We are wrong more often than we are right. But we try to be right in ways that matter.
05.
Be hard on each other with truth, then take each other out for coffee. That is how we grow.
06.
Create trouble. It is the fastest way to make progress.
07.
Everyone talks to customers. Engineers included.
08.
Measure pedantically. If customers aren't using what we shipped, say so.
09.
Ambition is contagious. So is mediocrity. Lean towards the former. You're allowed to fail.
10.
We are paranoid about not doing enough every day.
11.
This is not a place to retire. But if we win big, you will have that option.
There’s the work you do. And then there’s the work you privately believe you’re meant for. If Metaforms fits the second kind, we’d love to build with you.
But if our work doesn’t excite you, a better offer won’t change that.
The best engineers take debt the way good companies take loans: deliberately, on terms they set, with every intention of paying it back.
If you resonate with this, we are looking for you.
Engineers are encouraged to join customer conversations.
Postmortems name causes, never people.
Engineers argue things onto the backlog, and off it.
Review, tests and CI on every change. We ship daily.
Healthy on-calls
Engineering managers still read and write code.
You get mentorship from seniors, and scope before you feel ready.
The mission is real, but we can't pay you in mission. The mission is the mission. The money is money. We keep them separate.
