About the Product & Engineering team at Gorgias

✍️ At Gorgias, Product, Design, and Engineering teams collaborate cross-functionally within an agile-at-scale model (Tribes & Squads).

We foster a culture centered on Getting Stuff Done, Ownership, Teamwork, Excellence, and Agility—values that define how we operate and innovate.

Our Engineering teams move fast without compromising quality. We emphasize clean code, rigorous testing, and error resolution before new feature development.

We believe in continuous growth and ownership. Mistakes happen, but they provide learning opportunities that drive us toward excellence. Progress isn’t linear, and challenges help us refine and improve.

Gorgias is a fast-paced, high-growth company, and our team thrives in this dynamic environment. We value agility, precision, and execution, embracing candor and honest feedback to achieve operational and product excellence.
