This year we also tackled work to improve our resiliency and reliability in the face of this growth.

Our engineering and product teams are based in Beaverton, OR and Denver, CO and we have a several offshore contracted scrum teams.
Looking ahead we will invest more in modernizing our engineering practices and tooling, and in improving an already good partnership between engineering and product so that we can build and release in smaller, more frequent increments. We will be investing in both our current products, and building new solutions for customers' problems.
