How Meetic works: an organization designed to ship fast and maintain quality

Meetic, like most tech-first companies, needs to keep its code base clean and scalable. It is our biggest asset, and we need to take care of it. Most companies are either good at shipping fast or maintaining high code quality. Doing both is hard and we've been working on this topic for a while.

While there is still room for improvement, I considered we have found the right balance between long-term tech projects and product development. I'd like to share the receipt. Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to organizations, roles, and processes. However, the organization I describe below and the design principles on which it relies are pretty common. Especially for companies that work with both web apps and native apps.

In this post, I'll deep dive into 3 key factors that have helped us achieve great product development success and high-quality standards :

• The way we run our teams and our tech communities
• The hard skills we expect from the Engineering Managers and the role the Tech Leads play in the tech communities
• The hard and soft skills we expect from the Software Engineers
