1. What you’ll bring

Did you read Our Core Values? No, you didn’t. Go read it now and then come back, so we can talk more. That short list of values is the most important measure for us.

We’ll wait here for you. Thanks.

❤️ Our core values are the collective beliefs of chefs and guide our day-to-day decisions, The most important defining component of our unique culture. We hire and promote chefs mostly based on these values.

Current Core Values (v2)

• Team over individuals and ego.

  As a team, we are unstoppable. No one is bigger than the team. No one is smarter than our collective smartness.

• Act like an owner and be a self-starter.

  Act like an owner if you want to be seen as an owner. Take initiative and be the change you seek. If it's a good idea, go ahead and do it. It is much better to apologize than it is to get permission. Be persistent in making things around you better. We face many challenges, and that is exciting! Being a relentless problem solver and persistent in looking for and fixing problems every day is a key habit.

• Tangible and timely output comes first.

  Without measurable and timely results, we don’t exist. Jumpstart non-scalable; then think in scale. Being a fast mover, you'll jump to many non-scalable tasks in each project's early days, and that is fine. However, at your first convenience, prepare for the future: Document or automate critical parts so you won't need to repeat yourself. Document and test both the code and your assumptions in the early days.

• Design for learning quickly, and be generous in sharing.

  Your most important skill is how effectively and efficiently you can learn new skills so you'll have enough time for new experiments and mistakes!

  💡 Boyd's law of iteration: Speed of iteration beats the quality of iteration.

  Also be the first mover to teach your team, others at DataChef, and people outside.

• Be resourceful. Be the hope and stay positive.

  Begin with the world of possibilities. Offer options, and not blockers. Bring hope and not negativity. Always use the most charitable interpretation.
