User is at the center of the product for you (and the rest of the team - everybody participate in user calls at Tengo !)
You think like a founder. You don’t just design Figmas —you find problems and fix them.
Speed > perfection. We move very fast. Draw. Ship. Learn. Repeat.
No babysitting. If you need detailed specs and guardrails, this isn’t for you. We hire people who figure things out while building it.
Smile every morning because work is fun and colleagues are fun 🙂
Feedback is a gift, there is so much to learn from great peers.
Transparency isn’t optional. Sharing wins, mistakes, and half-baked ideas without hiding or ego. It builds trust and foster real collaboration
