I am proudest of having taken one of our products, Estimating, from the beginning to the point where it’s in the hands of everyday car owners and is impacting real lives. Two years ago there was not a single line of code, and now we have come so far!

I was given autonomy right away, which meant I felt trusted to really dive deep into solving problems and building solutions. This doesn’t mean we expect people to operate in a vacuum though - quite the opposite: everyone is eager to collaborate and step in! We’re building a supportive and accepting team culture, because we believe empowered teammates can solve any problem put in front of them.

Engineering culture

  1. def isTractabler(self):
  2.   
  3.   return great_teams > brilliant_individuals
  4.   '''
  5.   We define, value and appreciate success through our team achievements more than looking at what we achieve individually. Helping everyone succeed is very important to us, which is why we value pair programming, brainstorming ideas and design discussions. We are proud of our team of exceptional engineers at Tractable yet we don’t glorify heroics and there is never any personal blame. We rise together, we fall together and we grow together.
  6.   '''
  7.   and impact > perfection
  8.   '''
  9.   Done means that it has an impact in the real world, to real users, with real results. Code complete is not done. Released is not done. We like to own a problem from beginning to end. We know that great software comes from and is built for humans. We would rather have a (maybe smaller) real user-impact sooner and build on that, rather than taking too much time to design and build something which checks all the boxes of “perfect” software engineering.
  10.   '''
  11.   and best_idea > max(first_idea, loudest_idea, idea_from_most_senior_person)
  12.   '''
  13.   The best idea wins. Not necessarily the first idea. Likely not the idea from the most senior person (CTO or whoever this might be). Definitely not the loudest idea. We seek whatever can help us find the best idea and make a better decision. That means ideas can come from anywhere. Nobody needs to be in the relevant team/group/circle to be able to suggest ideas. We work with people we trust and respect. As a result, we love to challenge ideas and see our ideas challenged, because that is exactly how ideas improve and get from good to really great.

Within a short period of time, I have been given a lot of autonomy. I have a lot more ownership in how I approach problems and people trust me to know what I am talking about and how I can help them with their infrastructure needs. :)

Communication is key in any team and that’s something we do well at Tractable. Whenever a problem arises, people work together to get to a plan of action. Everyone is open to discuss their ideas, be challenged and consider different points of view.

What attracted me here is the domain that we are in and the problems that we are solving using AI. It was a chance for me to use my engineering skills, and apply them in a new and exciting way. I have been here for years but I continuously get a chance to learn about all the new advances in research and how we can bring them to life.
