Hiring an engineering at Polar (Senior/Staff), focused on Impact.

Two Non-Negotiable Values

We want to be a 10x startup - starts with everyone having 10x impact

The superceding principle. Prioritize actions with the highest expected impact. If it does not move the needle, do not do it.

Customer obsession - exists only to help users

We exist to create value for brands and users. Never ship or act in ways that harm them. Every initiative must clearly increase user value or remove friction to realizing value.

Some Operating Principles

The only way to win is to move fast

• Try 100 things vs the competitor's one attempt
• Action precedes information

Every person and every system improves each week.

• Growth is compounding.
• Hold a weekly retro and a weekly forward plan.

Be ruthless on standards, never rude in delivery.

• Disagree directly, commit fully once a decision is made.

We are here to win, not to be right, or to do what we wish.

• Do what it takes to win. "Not my scope" is not an excuse. Do what makes us win, not what we feel like doing.
• Set goals you believe in, then hit them. If at risk, reforecast early with a plan to close gaps.

Behaviors We Do Not Tolerate

• Low or no impact.
• Lack of desire to win.
• Accepting passive failure.
• Actions that harm users or sacrifice long-term user value.
• Politics and "winning the argument" over winning the market.
