"We have a huge amount of heart, and that energy is contagious. Previously we were primarily an engineering-led team. Since then, we’ve grown into a more product-led organization, which has brought a lot of clarity. As engineers, we trust the product team’s vision and feel empowered to build features that support an incredible product."
