We're empowering anyone to build software

This is a big mission. so, for us to get there, we have created an amazing and high performing culture for our people.

Our values

As the world becomes ever more digital and innovation becomes an expectation, our need to create is more important than ever. But we can’t just rely on people who can code, or expect everyone to learn to code. At Checkbox, we are bridging that gap by enabling the power of digital creation for the masses.

We’re a team of people who are extremely talented yet continuously lift ourselves and each other to grow to the next level, without limit. We’re extremely fast paced and have a knack at getting shit done but will always cross the finish line as a team and not just as individuals. What stands out is how deeply we care about this organisation, our customers and each other.

Our values are critical to the success and growth of our people. They determine how we communicate, make decisions, and solve problems. They are referenced frequently and genuinely. They are why people get rewarded and why people get let go. They are what our people live by, even beyond the workplace, and it makes them not just better Checkboxers, but better people. The more the values below sound like you, and describe people you want to work with, the more likely you will thrive at Checkbox.
