Hi, we’re ContactOut. B2B professionals use ContactOut to get conversations going with key people. They like it. We’re used by 76% of the Fortune 500.

Our ultimate vision is to fix cold outreach for the world. We want to transform it from a “necessary evil” into a good experience for both the sender and receiver.

Engineering Values
🧠 Understand before doing
Understand before doing means thinking about the approach before starting work. The code you write may be around for a very long time so a little planning will make a big difference.
🗣️ Speaking up
It is your responsibility to share and a team responsibility to listen and give you a safe space to speak.
👪 Team ownership
It means that when reviewing Pull Requests, you only accept it if you are happy with it because it is code you will be maintaining. When you approve a Pull Request, you are signing off that you are happy with the quality of this code. We are all living in the same house, we need to keep it tidy and easy for everyone else.
