Team Culture
Software development at FLUX is a collaborative effort between the engineering, product, and customer-facing teams. We work in small teams that take ownership of design, implementation, support, and quality. We value good engineering practices such as design documentation, unit testing, continuous integration and code reviews. We use and contribute to open source software. FLUX has a strong culture of respect and professionalism, and there is open communication between all layers and all areas of the company.

FLUX employees are motivated by the expectation that we will leave a meaningful mark on our industry. Everyone on the team shares an ability to work efficiently and collaboratively in order to find elegant solutions to complex problems. We opened our London office in October 2017 and are now excited to share our strong Silicon Valley culture and absorb and learn from the amazing and vibrant UK Construction Tech scene.
