Working at Estes: Our Core Tenets 

We are a focused, deeply technical team with ambitious goals. 

At Estes, we operate with shared values and virtues that set our culture. 

Reason from First Principles 

We don’t solely rely on precedent, anecdotes — we ask “why,” challenge assumptions, and get to the root of every problem before building up from fundamentals. 

Only Data Can Save Us 

We prioritize experimentation over speculation. We build orthogonal approaches towards data test hypotheses, and we deeply care about data integrity. This is what separates data from lore. 

Take Deep Ownership and Excel at Your Craft 

You are never on an island, we work for each other, and together. Along with that, every team member is empowered and expected to own and lead. We take full ownership of our domains and continuously refine our skills with intellectual honesty and humility.  

Design for Cost and Scale at Every Stage 

Whether we’re building a prototype or defining a spec, we’re always asking: How will this scale? How does it become affordable?

Operate with Good Faith and Accountability 

We trust each other’s intent and integrity. We challenge directly, support wholeheartedly, and hold ourselves and each other to high standards.
