Engineering at 8fit
We all care deeply
about the work we do, and the tools we use. We try and create an
environment that allows for personal & professional growth.
We
believe culture is not a list of items. It’s the people you work with,
but here are a few of the ideas we feel strongly about.
Venture
outside your comfort zone — Ask questions. Be critical. Suggest ways of
improving internal process. Be humble, admit mistakes readily, and never
stop learning.
Take ownership — The more freedom and
responsibility people have, the less management is needed. Do your own
research, talk with others on the team and don’t let anything stand
between you and the results you want.
Great communication — The ability to exchange ideas efficiently is an important part of your skillset.
Bias
towards action — Assume your first iteration will need improvement. The
sooner you launch the sooner you can improve. Instead of speculating
come back next week with real data.

Benefits
What it’s like to work at 8fit
We’ve got a lovely office in Kreuzberg, right in front of the canal. It’s quiet, bright, and well stocked with healthy snacks.
Every
Friday we get together for a lunch. We endorse healthy life choices to
millions of people, and we stick to them ourselves. But don’t just take
my word for it. You’re welcome to drop by and meet the team.
We
love Berlin, but we don’t love the cold. That’s why every year we escape
for a month with the whole team to some tropical destination. Last year
we went to Koh Lanta. You should have seen my sun tan. It was to die
for.
We like to work hard, but we believe in balance. Our office
hours are quite flexible, ensuring everyone has plenty of time to
exercise and enjoy life.
