What makes working as a Software Engineer at epilot so special? Our unique engineering culture is defined by a few core engineering principles:\nAmong others, you can expect **freedom and responsibility** because we hire smart people who we can trust. We operate by principles and expect our teams to cultivate a strategic mindset. \nWe believe in **ownership: you build it, you run it**. We subscribe to this core principle of the DevOps movement. There is no dedicated Ops team who you can pass on the responsibility to take your code and make sure it runs reliably and scales to customers' needs. \nYou should always **show, don’t tell**: Deliver working software early and frequently. We believe in the basic Agile principle of "Release early and release often". This approach helps us manage risk and make better decisions by creating fast feedback loops between ourselves and our users. \nWe design software **API First**. Before we write a single line of code, we design the APIs of a service in a way that any other team, whether internal to epilot or external, can use the APIs interface with our service without prior knowledge.\n\nDoes this sound like an environment you want to work in?
