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 Compensation Rewards Team is embarking on work to revamp how Lattice aligns information about jobs across a company - their levels, the roles, and the people assigned to them. This is a product that serves as the foundation for other products across the organization, including our Compensation and Grow products. The team is responsible for making what’s usually a critical, yet often tenuous task, easier for our customers.
