We Accomplish This Through

Possibly the best hiring and talent management.

Oftentimes we’ve known our hires for quite some time in numerous contexts. Anyone that we didn’t already know has made it through interview processes honed over many years within no-mediocrity-allowed, culturally intense unicorns. Our people know what they’re doing, and have an optimal balance of humility and go-get-’em.

Process, process, process.

We have process governing everything from technical design to brainstorming to required communications at every level to pulling in additional resources from Flatiron as needed. These processes were honed in rapid-growth startups where demands on process included not just the present but reliably anticipating many steps into the future.

SIDETOP software to manage process

We built our Super Intense Data & Engineering Team Operations Platform for our very specific needs. We also named it… The platform helps both to facilitate our extensive processes+comms and to document everything around them. Logins are provided to clients.

Strong on-demand
support bench

We can bring in engineers, CDO’s, admins, etc whenever there’s a need. And, of course, our processes ensure that team members put in support requests whenever there’s a chance that one-off extra muscle will deliver strong value to the client.
