                    <strong>Open source.</strong>  The Zulip software is 100% free and
                    open source.  We're <a href="/team/">an open-source project</a> first,
                    and we’re building a sustainable business as a means to support the
                    project's growth and long-term future. We provide the same open-source
                    code to our largest customers as to anyone with <code>git clone</code>.
                    We get paid by enterprises for support, and by smaller companies using
                    our rapidly-growing hosted service.
                </p>
                <p>
                    <strong>Open project.</strong> The Zulip project is one where people
                    really do show up through the Internet and start making real changes.
                    That doesn’t happen by accident; it takes work and thoughtfulness.  Most
                    of us work remotely, and we discuss our code and our plans in public, in
                    writing, primarily asynchronously, using Zulip and GitHub.
                </p>
                <p>
                    <strong>Inclusive community.</strong> The Zulip community is made up of a
                    mixture of volunteers and professionals from all walks of life. Diversity is
                    one of our strengths, and we strive to be a community that welcomes and
                    supports people of all backgrounds and identities from anywhere in the world.
                </p>
                <p>
                    <strong>Maintainable software.</strong>  Great
                    software over time depends on a team’s shared
                    understanding of a system and how to change it, as
                    much as on the code itself. Beyond writing our
                    code so it works today, we put equal effort into
                    writing code, tests, comments, commit history,
                    and <a href="https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/">documentation</a>
                    clearly, to share with each other and future
                    contributors our understanding of how and why it
                    works, so we can build on it tomorrow.

                    People working together need to communicate with their teammates, and they
                    also need to tune out the conversation to get work done. Teams tired of
                    wasting time in meetings move discussion to email; tired of waiting all
                    day for email replies, move to a team chat like Slack or IRC; and then
                    team chat becomes an always-on meeting, leaving people constantly
                    distracted, missing out on important conversations, or both.
                </p>
                <p>
                    Zulip is reinventing chat so teams can accomplish more together. We've
                    created a place where a conversation can shift seamlessly from the
                    immediacy of chat to the reply-whenever efficiency of email, and back;
                    where you can participate in the conversations that matter to you and
                    efficiently tune out the rest, no matter whether you're there in real
                    time, coming online after a morning hard at work, or returning from a
                    vacation away from it.

                <p>
                    Our mobile app is a critical part of the Zulip experience. We’re looking
                    for an engineer to join our small, growing, core team and help define the
                    future of team chat on mobile.

                        skills.

                        Diagnose and fix bugs small and large and across several layers of our
                        stack, and resolve questions about the frameworks and libraries we
                        rely on by diving into their source when the documentation doesn't
                        suffice.
