ON THE MOOV

At Moov, peoples’ talents are put to good use. “People across the entire organization have autonomy over their role and see the impact of their decisions,” Director of Engineering Aaron Bell said of Moov, which announced a $45 million Series B in January 2023. And although Moov might be fully remote, colleagues have managed to sew a tight-knit and congenial culture while being spread out. “My favorite aspect of Moov’s culture is the level of respect and care colleagues have for each other, despite working across different time zones and roles,” Senior Technical Writer Josephine Roh said.

STRONG TEAM BONDS

Building a solution while elevating one another

“The entire foundation of our company culture is based on trust,” said Bell, who added that trust is also central to the engineering team’s culture, which results in a collaborative, idea-friendly space. And just as the culture is built to encourage success, the technology — like open-source libraries and domain-driven architecture — is aimed at results. “Our success is having small, fast, autonomous services built by small, fast, autonomous teams. In short, we are in charge of our own destiny, and we are set up to deliver it really fast!” he said.

Josephine Roh

Senior Technical Writer

Count Senior Technical Writer Josephine Roh as one of the Moov team members who likes the latitude that remote work lends to the work experience. Thanks to the company’s remote model plus helpful flex PTO, Roh has moved multiple times across the country without it impacting her role. Throw in people-focused policies like Moov’s parental leave — which is huge for Roh, an expecting parent — and the workplace experience is elevated. “I’m thankful that I can continue to pursue growth both in and outside of work because of the people and policies at my company,” Roh said.

I have been able to continue growing in my career and doing something I love (writing docs) while also developing as a person.

COLLABORATIVE CURRENCY

Work powered by strong teamwork

Kola Awe, a senior software engineer and team lead for Moov’s ledger team, described the autonomy and ownership granted to engineering teams at Moov as being beneficial to the technologists’ work. Additionally, Awe said that open and collaborative communication practices are central to success, like org-wide Slack channels, Google Drive and Notion document visibility and fluid access to repositories for engineers. “This means information, good or bad, isn’t siloed and everyone can see the impact of their work and contributions to the overall growth of the company,” Awe said.
