At Documenso, we pride ourselves on being a remote-first company with a focus on building a sustainable product with a sustainable team. We believe that our culture is what defines us, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels empowered, supported, and motivated to do their best work.
One of the core tenets of our culture is flexibility. We understand that everyone has different preferences and needs when it comes to work, and we encourage team members to find a schedule and routine that works for them. Whether it's early mornings, midday breaks, or working late into the night, we trust our team members to manage their time effectively and prioritize their work accordingly.
We also understand that due to our lack of meetings, you’ll have more time for work compared to other non-async or in-person roles. We encourage you to consider this and ensure you’re taking reasonable breaks between tasks since the day won’t naturally break as much.
As a remote-first company, we operate asynchronously, meaning that we don't require team members to work at the same time. Instead, we focus on outcomes and quality of work rather than the number of hours spent at a desk. We believe that this approach allows our team members to work more efficiently and effectively while also giving them the freedom and flexibility to manage their time in a way that works for them.
At Documenso, we prioritize thoughtful and deliberate delivery of features, with a focus on building upon and improving our platform. Our goal is to create a robust platform that our customers can trust, which means that we want to ship fast but also ship deliberately. We take the time to test and refine our features before releasing them, and we're always looking for ways to improve and enhance the user experience.
One of the ways we foster ownership and autonomy among our team members is through cycle-based work. Each team member runs their own mini-projects consisting of a moderately defined feature, and they’re empowered to make technical decisions during implementation and rollout. This approach allows our team members to take ownership of their work and see their projects through from start to finish.
Finally, we believe in creating a culture of trust and empowerment, where everyone is free to work in a way that best suits them and is encouraged to take ownership of their work. We trust our team members to manage their time effectively, make technical decisions, and deliver high-quality work. We believe that by creating a culture of trust, we can foster a strong sense of community and collaboration among our team members, even though we work remotely.
