What’s Jobvite Engineering All About?

We call ourselves JET and we are the “how” and the “when” of everything that happens in Product & Engineering. We are organized into seven Tribes that... support distinct product lines and have responsibility for delivering in 2 week sprints. We are led by Jared Adams and Ron Teeter and by the power of our absolute best and brightest team of Engineers. We deliver on our product commitments and engineering values everyday and we award Engineers on our values each month. Our commitment is to always learn, always improve, and always “be better”. We are “ridiculously committed” to being better.

What Are Our Engineering Values?

• I get to. We don’t have to do things we get to do things. We bring a positive spirit to our work.
• Shift left. We have a passion for innovation and bringing value as close to the customer as we can.
• Agile > Scrum. Scrum is our methodology but being Agile is more important. If the process slows you down, do the right thing and be agile.
• I code it, I own it. We have a deep level of ownership of everything we deliver and count on one another for the same.
• Ship small, fail fast. Repeat. We are committed to iterative improvement.
