Engineering Team Principles
Three principles guiding Nava's engineering culture, focused on proactive design, respecting others' time, and building with empathy.
-
We are proactive by architecting robust systems, addressing risks early, focusing on the user experience, and finding the simplest path forward.
Anticipate problems rather than react to them. Build systems that handle edge cases and find the simplest solution that works.
-
We value the time of our colleagues, our users, and our future selves over our own.
Write code and documentation that saves others time. Consider the person who’ll maintain this in two years.
-
We believe in empathy, reliability, and simplicity.
Understand users’ needs, build systems that work consistently, and avoid unnecessary complexity.
