Organization and methodologies

Descartes & Mauss

We operate on an AI-native, security-first approach with agile rhythms and strategic ownership:

  • Two-week sprints with dedicated time for planning, demos, and retrospectives

  • Cross-functional squads pair engineers with product, design, and data experts

  • Security-first mindset embedded into every code push and infrastructure change

  • Role-based OKRs that prioritize impact, technical excellence, and innovation

  • Contribution across layers — our engineers build agents, tune LLMs, and automate infra, not just write features

This gives us the flexibility to move fast, the discipline to stay secure, and the curiosity to keep pushing the boundaries of applied AI.
