In this blog post, Bitrise's CTO and co-founder Viktor Benei and VP of Engineering Gergely Hodicska share their insights on how they approach metrics, performance, and success in their engineering teams. They discuss what they look for during the hiring process, including a growth mindset, holistic thinking ability, grittiness, and being proactive and resilient. The team emphasizes the importance of creating an environment that encourages experimentation, transparency, and continuous learning, with a flat setup but also recognizing the need for tribes to facilitate communication. They measure performance using outcomes rather than output, with metrics such as deployment frequency, mean lead time, and change failure rate, and set goals using the S.M.A.R.T. criteria. The team is always looking for ways to improve, including investing in lean and agile metrics and prioritizing transparency and communication to ensure everyone's wellbeing.
