Modus Operandi

Our culture

Our Modus Operandi largely defines our culture from a value standpoint. Our developers, product managers, data scientists and UX designers collaborate at our San Francisco headquarters and our Sydney (AU) office.

We are zoom power users who max out on productivity and life balance.

To ensure that we do not suffer from less lively human connections, we do:

  • Regular management and team stand-ups
  • Regular 15-min staff breathing and meditation sessions led by a pro
  • Regular game nights and team outings in SF
  • All-hands meetings every two-weeks
  • Free-time to attend quarterly investor calls
