Dagger

As a response to the long history of software supply chains being inefficient and difficult to manage, Dagger was founded, a devops platform that conducts the delivery of applications to the cloud.

• Be honest - We strive to communicate with each other, and with our community, in a way that is sincere, intentional and direct. This promotes a culture of trust, reflection and accountability
• Have compassion - We are responsible for each other’s well-being. We recognize that every interaction is an opportunity to help our teammates improve and achieve their goals. We cheer each other’s successes and offer comfort in difficult times. We are committed to maintaining solidarity with our teammates and community
• Improve a little bit every day - The best teams, products, and businesses all have one thing in common: incremental improvement. Whether it’s fixing a small bug, improving the documentation, or making team communication a little more efficient; these details add up and make a huge difference in the long run
• Lead by example - Raising an issue is important but not enough. Leading the effort towards a solution is more useful. Doing is always more powerful than saying. Everyone in the team should feel empowered to take a new initiative that is aligned with our company goals and objectives. The best team members lead by example, do not wait for assignments, and help identify the highest priorities
• Include everyone - We value each other’s insights, and take the time to listen. We empower each other to contribute anywhere in impactful ways - regardless of our title. This creates a culture of inclusion, belonging and well-being that is essential to doing our best work
• Organize your work around your life - “Work-life balance” implies that work and life are interchangeable. They are not! We love our work, but acknowledge that it is just one part of our lives. We encourage you to organize your work around your life, not the other way around—while supporting each other in the process. Taking paid time off does not need to be justified, life happens. Dagger teammates understand this and have your back. It also means we must be proactive about our health and not hesitate to take sick days for anything health-related whenever needed
• It should never feel like a job - Our partnership started with these words: “it should never feel like a job.” Over time we will experience successes and failures, competitors will come and go, the business and technology landscape will change, our strategy will evolve. Some days will be mundane, some full of excitement. But through it all, one thing must never change: we must always enjoy the process of building things together
