We Create Impact

Here at VideoAmp, we don’t build flashy technology for the sake of marketing. We don’t have massive datasets to show off. And we don’t invest in quality engineering because we want to avoid bugs. At our core, we do everything to drive customer value and real-world outcomes.

The Engineering Team is dedicated to five cultural tenets that permeate our organization.

  • CT 01

    No Bullshit

    Transparency is key. We use OfficeVibe, retros, regular 1:1s and peer feedback loops to get to the root of issues.

  • CT 02

    Maximize Value

    Every project we take on is designed to create impact for customers.

  • CT 03

    People First

    We care deeply about career progression, adaptive learning environments, freedom to experiment and space to innovate.

  • CT 04

    Challenge Paradigms

    There is no such thing as the “right way”! We believe in challenging all assumptions until we arrive at an approach that yields the most effective results.

  • CT 05

    Be Premium

    We are obsessed with great customer experiences! The only way to get there is via constant iteration and best-in-class automation.
