What the candidate is looking for is just as important as what we at Jan are looking for.
Value alignment isnt something thats often spoken about when hiring for a new role. At Jan, we believe that value alignment is the stuff folks really mean when they say “culture fit”.

### Small Pods = Big Impact
At Jan, we operate in small pods- like nerdy dolphins. These are compact, agile teams, each taking ownership of specific aspects of our product. This structure allows us to ship features at an impressive speed, maintain a clear focus on our business goals, and experience minimal roadblocks.

Our Triage Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is crucial for handling urgent bugs by assigning them to an owner and tagging them to the current sprint and milestone. For all other tasks, we assign the correct roadmap label(s) and owner. Determining what fires we let burn is a continuous learning and practice to build.

### Our Rhythm- Standups, sprints, demos, and TGIFs
Our day kicks off with a standup at 11 AM, where we align our tasks and address any immediate concerns. We run in sprints, which keeps us focused and fast.

Not just for kicking back with questionable Google Meet filters but also for celebrating our achievements and learning from our experiences.

At Jan  our small pod structure is more than just an organisational choice; it's a reflection of our belief in empowerment, agility, and clear focus. Hierarchical management and top down decision making is something that goes against our core - and weve found that by being small and owning functions - our objectives arent just goals - theyre becoming reality.
