Our Community

our community

culture only exists in a community that connects

We take building culture as serious as our production environments... engineer humor...

It's core to who we are as a team to connect in ways that matter. To us this means things like:

teaching and learning at our Lineate University
holding weekly Lunch 'n Learns
and monthly Project Fairs where teams present cool work
and parties and celebrations across all our offices

We are also serious about sharing knowledge, what we are thinking about, and what we are learning, with the wider tech community.
