About Jiga
Jiga is on a mission to help engineers build physical products faster. Think npm install for mechanical engineers - we're building the infrastructure that makes hardware development as fast as software.
How we work
We’re a small remote team made up of the best of the best. Our team members are distributed around the globe. Most of our work is made async, which is the secret sauce of our success.
- High trust, low bullshit: We don't count hours or peek over your shoulder on Slack. We trust you to get your work done and tell us when something's wrong. You'll have real ownership over what you build: which means you'll make a lot of decisions about architecture and functionality without endless approval cycles.
- Question everything: See something that doesn't make sense? Say it. Have a better way to do something? Just do it. We actually mean it when we say we want people to challenge the status quo and improve things. Our internal motto is “Don’t drink the kool-aid”
- No stupid Meetings: One weekly all-hands. One dev team sync. That's literally it. Everything else happens async in Slack or Loom. Your calendar will be beautifully, gloriously empty.
- Actually friendly, not corporate friendly: We play games online every week. Once a year we fly everyone somewhere beautiful for our offsite. We genuinely like hanging out together, which turns out to be way better than forced "team building exercises."
Engineering Values
- Simple > Complicated. Simple code, simple architecture; Simple solutions are better than complex ones.
- Ship it, then improve it. Perfection is the enemy of done. Launch now, iterate forever.
- Product > Engineering. Every line of code should make our users' lives better. We're not here to show off our algorithmic prowess - we're here to solve real business problems.
