Engineering plays a very central part in the business. As a company with ambitions to be a world-class API solution for all things tax, we value quality over quantity when building. We also care about creating scalable, easy-to-operate, and maintainable software that our customers and daily users can rely on.

We co-own the product roadmap with product managers.We choose collaboration, compassion, and trust over individualism and politics.We prefer innovation, constant iteration and trust over competition and perfect solutions.We support each other, are kind by nature, and give as much feedback as possible to improve as professionals.We break down complex problems and consistently seek the most straightforward solutions.We take quality and security seriously and factor it into everything we do.We are comfortable with change in terms of priorities, goals and deadlines.
