About Palm engineering
Engineering at Palm today consists of a team of five engineers with diverse engineering and cultural backgrounds. We are located in Amsterdam and Stockholm, mostly working remotely with frequent gatherings in one of our locations or at off-sites where it is warmer and sunnier 🏖️
The engineering team has been working together since November 2023 so there is still a lot of opportunities for high impact work as well as playing an important role in further shaping the engineering organisation and culture.
Palm Engineering is defined by our principles:
- Bias to Action: In the face of uncertainty, we prototype fast and often.
- Open Communication: We courageously voice concerns to realign our direction as needed.
- Passion for Challenges: We love the problem and embrace challenges.
In order to achieve this we lean on a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing, where curiosity, respect and openness are some of our guiding principles. We truly value diversity and are happy to have our perspectives challenged. And of course, let’s have fun together!
