We're building a new kind of digital workforce. AI agents that automate conversations and unlock real-world productivity. Come build the future of AI with us.
At Happyrobot, engineering is more than shipping code—it's building with purpose. We move fast, but always with intent. These principles guide how we work: balancing speed with quality, simplicity with long-term vision, and autonomy with accountability. They reflect the kind of team we are and the company we're building.
Know what great looks like—even if we're not building it today.
We begin by defining the ideal outcome. Clear direction makes every shortcut intentional—and prevents drift.
Move fast—but only in the right direction.
Once the destination is clear, we deliver quickly. We build only what's necessary, gather feedback, and iterate. Simplicity isn't just speed—it's the discipline to stay focused and avoid overengineering.
Tomorrow's speed depends on today's architecture.
We prioritize clean interfaces, tests, and observability—even if it slows us down in the short term. It compounds into faster, better work over time. We leave the codebase better than we found it.
Tech debt is a choice, never an accident.
We treat tech debt as a deliberate trade-off. If it doesn't unlock real speed or learning, we don't take it on.
The bar you set is the team you get.
We surround ourselves with people who care—about their craft, their teammates, and their impact. High standards attract high standards. We mentor generously and build a culture where excellence is normal, not exceptional.
Solve problems that matter.
We don't just build things right—we build the right things. Engineering work is tied directly to customer needs and company goals. We prioritize what truly moves the needle.
Builders own what they build—end to end.
Ownership means responsibility, not just delivery. If it's in production, it's yours—bugs, uptime, results, and all. No hand-offs. No blame. Just accountability.
