What Engineering Does

We work in a Lean Software Development environment (without ceremonies). We are highly collaborative! Each team of 3 software engineers collaborates throughout the day with a Product Manager, UX Designer, and Site Reliability Engineer to discover and deliver solutions that our customers love and work for our business. Each team delivers and sustains new products, services, and features of the Packsize software platform for our on-demand box-making machines, integration with customer systems, optimizing complex workflows, and more. Our teams continuously deliver high-quality software quickly and safely to production. We are continuously looking at the health of our engineering culture and how we can learn and improve. We also investigate new technologies and how we will leverage them to solve problems in new and better ways.
