The Kantox Engineering Manifesto
Kantox is a team sport. Our engineering culture is devoid of egos yet we take great pride in our work. We believe in constructively challenging each other pushing our knowledge, code, processes to the absolute limit. Our processes are based around continual self improvement, continuous code integration and deployment.
About the team
The Cloud team is an innovator and curious team that supports the whole Kantox infrastructure. We are always investigating the new trends embracing the changes and ready for action. In this team, we support each other, help each other and motivate ourselves to be a better team every day. Every opinion matters here because we believe in the synergy we build together.
We’re currently a team of 5. The plan is to continue growing steadily in line with the company's evolving needs and as the platform team becomes more strategic across the organization.
