How We Work
PagerDuty Engineering teams are set up to be mini innovation pods. We practice what we
preach, and believe that every engineer can build great products to delight our thousands of customers.
Teams are set up to be able to achieve success autonomously while remaining accountable for results. Every team has full vertical ownership of their own services and are able to release as frequently as they want to. We practice the mantra of ‘Code It. Ship It. Own It.’ and believe that teams are most successful when they are able to own every decision in order to run their software. Every team gets to be a part of our growth by building
highly resilient and durable software that scales from our startup customers to Fortune 100 companies.
We deploy over 1000 times a month and every engineer is able to ship high quality software to production on their own. Teams own their own tests and yes,
we use PagerDuty to manage incidents. Teams own their own way of working and can use the agile practices of their choice to work collaboratively via incremental delivery.
We support engineers to explore ideas via bi-annual Hack weeks,
actively attack our own infrastructure weekly to learn and get better, host an annual internal technical conference called
PagerCon, ask our engineers to represent PagerDuty at
industry events, and
contribute to the open source community.
Each team has a dedicated Engineering Manager, Product Owner, and agile coach to help
support our people and teams to be successful. We believe that Management is a separate
skill set and have different career paths for our engineers and managers including a full ‘stay technical’ career track.
