CircleCI the company is comprised of 111 people (and growing!), and of those 36 are remote– a third of the company! Some of our teams have a larger remote component than others, based on the kind of work they’re doing, and what type of setup allows us to best serve our customer needs. Some teams, such as engineering, are a natural fit for asynchronous work, as they can grab the context they need from shared resources like Slack and Github, and then go heads down and work solo. Other teams, such as Marketing and Sales, benefit from being primarily in the same location at the same time; for example, being able to share real-time feedback with a teammate after a sales call can help team members iterate and improve their process more quickly. We’ve been a distributed team from the start; operating asynchronously is built into our DNA. Because of this history, so many of the practices that we have around location-agnostic collaboration have been with us as long as we’ve been a company. And we’ve worked hard to ensure that as we’ve grown we’ve scaled our ability to be an inclusive workplace for all, regardless of work location. Since our early days, CircleCI has purposely embraced building a global workforce. This simple choice has given us many advantages. First, we have access to the best talent on Planet Earth. The great variety of viewpoints we have access to helps us make better decisions. Equally important: it allows us to continuously deliver value to our customers 24 hours a day. Having team members all over the world brings many advantages for us as a company.
