This is Engineering at Lattice

Lattice’s Engineering team is continuously working to better both our product and our craft. We use a modern, cutting-edge tech stack and love experimenting with new technologies. We strive for maintainable, robust, and performant code. We’re highly collaborative and continuously iterative and work closely with designers and product managers. We prioritize not only great technical architecture but also an amazing product experience.

The Platform Frameworks team’s mission is to supercharge our engineering team by identifying patterns across our codebase and turning them into “paved roads”, thereby eliminating friction, reducing cognitive load, and making things generally smoother and easier for our internal developers.
