Culture
How we work.
We staff every engagement with senior practitioners. No interns, no “learning on the job”, no bench — just people who have shipped production systems for years.
Decisions are made by the engineers closest to the work. We have weekly all-hands, monthly retros, and a quarterly OKR review. Nothing else gets in the way.
We invest in long careers. The average Aightifier has been here for over four years. We measure success in retention, not headcount.
