The way we work
We are looking for problem solvers, not ticket takers. We're not about following strict processes or micromanaging. We operate on trust and focus on making a real impact. Our teams are mission focused and presented with problems, supported by context and research to help them deliver valuable solutions. We are a continuous delivery focused group, shipping changes to production 100+ times per month. We plan our commitments on a quarterly basis and work in 6-week cycles that enable us to solve real problems for our users and their patients while balancing technical debt, bugs, innovation and team growth. Our teams are directly responsible for making decisions that will improve oral care services for thousands of dental professionals and their patients.
Importantly, we keep things simple. We build software that delivers value for our users whether they are our customers, employees or other stakeholders. We make small changes that deliver business value, we test these with our users and iterate on the feedback. We resist the urge to over-engineer our solutions. We let our users and the data tell us where we go next.
