Values

There are three values expected from our team: Communicating, Being Smart, and Getting Things Done.

AmigoCloud is geographically distributed, with people in various time-zones and countries. As such, communication is essential to our success. Therefore, fluent written and spoken English is required. It is the common language used by everyone. It is used to conduct meetings, write documentation, comment source code,..,everything. We also use technology to stay connected to each other. Showing up for daily scrums, being online while working, keeping calendars up to date, and informing people when you will be out are all basic skills that every employee needs.

Working at AmigoCloud means never settling for what you know. Everyone learns on the job and continues to develop their skills. New platforms, languages, libraries, tools, and techniques are always emerging. The ability to learn quick to find innovative ways to solve problems is the norm. You don't need to know everything, but you will need to learn fast.

Finally, you must get things done. Taking responsibility for your work is essential to working together as a team. No one wants to deal with a weak link and if you can't follow through and get the job done, then other strengths doesn't matter. Everyone is working hard to build a product to help our clients and, in the end, the software must ship.
