Our mission is to build a secure cloud-based platform that enables every engineering team on Earth to automate grunt work projects and tasks.

⚫⚫ Values

Team > Individual

We grow and innovate without the constraints of personal pride. This humility paves the way for collaborative problem-solving and ensures decisions are made for the greater good of the company's mission, not individual status.

Action > Words

Prioritizing actions over words empowers team members to demonstrate their commitment through results, rather than intentions or promises, fostering a culture of accountability and execution. This value is critical for our success, as it shifts the focus from what could be done to what has been done.

Focus > Distractions

We prioritize work ruthlessly so that we have the highest impact on the company's goals, ensuring that efforts are focused and strategic. This focus on impactful work eliminates distractions and builds a resilient team culture that thrives on delivering value to customers consistently.

⚫⚫ Culture

Here at Second, we have a hacker culture, where rapid experimentation and delivering real solutions to customer problems are our life blood. We are developers serving developers, operating at the forefront of the AI code gen revolution.
