Working at Bitfount

Collaboration is in Bitfount’s DNA, and our mission of unlocking value by enabling others to work together applies just as strongly to how we ourselves work: internally as a team, with our customers, suppliers, and our broader community. We have a deep understanding that joining forces is worth the effort, and we always aim to create partnerships that are more than the sum of their parts. We always ask “Is there a better way to solve this problem through collaboration?”

Living this value requires us to default to trust ↓

Trust is the bedrock of a cohesive, healthy, high-performing team: trust that people can work autonomously, that we know our expertise but also our limitations, and trust that we aren’t afraid to ask for help when we need it. Trust that people act with integrity and good intentions and that problems are owned by the whole team and not by an individual. We make a conscious effort to recognise and neutralise our defensive behaviours and to nurture vulnerable trust with our teammates, even - especially - when this feels uncomfortable. We recognise that trust is also a two-way street and consciously work to earn our teammates’ trust by acting with integrity, professionalism and compassion.

Living this value requires us to celebrate diversity ↓

Organisations are made by the people within them; and diversity of experience, viewpoints and skills across the team fosters productive debate by allowing us to break out of fixed pathways of thinking. In order to enable our diversity to flourish, we encourage all Bitfounters to bring their authentic selves to the table and likewise to celebrate the things that make their teammates unique; to be compassionate, patient, humble, and kind, and to foster an honest, non-judgemental environment where everyone lifts up others, does their best work, grows and has fun.
