We like single-pizza teams: 3-4 people is a happy number for us.

We're a product for developers, by developers. We have a [thriving community](https://community.fly.io) and everyone is expected to keep up with it and develop a sense for what's worth doing and what needs fixing. We don't have formal product roadmaps or schedules; we ship stuff when it's ready.

* Staff: We're still working out what this means here. We'll generally
call out staff roles individually.

We also hire engineering management (EMs). Like most modern tech companies,
EM is a separate track from line engineering.

## We're Ruthless About Doing Customer-Visible Work

We want our teams to set their own direction as much as possible, but we'll shoot things down if they're not going to move the dials for our users. We're vigilant about tar pits and projects that spin our wheels and will do our best to keep you out of them. We're not big believers in "tech debt". We have a 3-month "no refactoring" rule for new hires. This isn't everyone's preferred work style! We try to be up front about stuff.
