We want you to be your best

As engineers, we want to feel excited about the quality of our code and the systems we build. We want to collaborate, innovate, and be proud of our work together. To achieve that we must continuously improve our skills — both as a team and individuals.

At TrainHeroic you will be surrounded by tremendously talented and experienced people. This is a community of learning, a collection of supportive people that have high expectations both for themselves and for you.

We work collaboratively and iteratively, empowering everyone to have a high impact on the customers we serve. We believe everyone deserves a work environment that values their unique perspective and that each person’s voice has the opportunity to elevate us all.




How Our Team Operates
Optimize for our ability to change




We like to cleanup code and refactor, using automated tests to support our efforts. If you’re not deeply familiar with automated testing, that’s ok — we’re all about collaboration and you’ll be up to speed in no time.
Improving quality is the best way to ship faster
  • Hold each other to high standards
  • Pair program over video chat to prevent and find bugs earlier in the development process
  • Learning as both a team and individual activity. Together, our team has read Clean Architecture, Clean Code, Code Complete 2, and other books. Next up is The DevOps Handbook.
  • We use an Engineering Growth Framework similar to Square’s to help each engineer and their manager track individual growth, opportunities, and establish professional development goals


We like taking ideas from other engineering orgs to see what works for us.
