Keep an eye on the why

Our work is grounded in craft, discipline and know-how. We sweat the detail without getting lost in the weeds. At all times, we remain focused on the bigger picture and our mission of delivering extraordinary impact for our customers.

Lead with empathy

Understanding and relating to other perspectives is essential to our work. From how we problem-solve to how we treat each other, we start from the outside and work in, prioritising people and their needs first.

Own it, together

Software development is a team sport. Whether it's a team of two or 200, we take collective responsibility for our outputs, facing challenges and celebrating successes as one. After all, our best work is done together.

Step out of your capsule

Progress means pushing boundaries. It means looking beyond, questioning the status quo and finding comfort outside our comfort zone. Continuous improvement is a collective responsibility - we each play a part.

Bring the craic!

Work should be enjoyable. A little laughter and positive energy go a long way to keeping us motivated and connected. Happy teams do better work and we take that seriously
