We give engineering leaders visibility into how work operates across code, people, and systems, and control over how that work progresses through enforceable workflows and policy.
Our values are meant to be used, not admired. When we see something misaligned or that puts our goals at risk, we speak up. We favor transparency over politeness and honest debate over quiet agreement, because strong decisions and a strong culture depend on saying the hard things out loud.
We dedicate our efforts to work that produces monumental outcomes for our customers. We gladly trade short-term predictability for long-term impact—channeling our focus into innovations that deliver real, lasting change.
We bring energy, urgency, and focus to the work, especially when it’s hard. We don’t optimize for ease or comfort; we optimize for momentum, learning, and pushing past perceived limits.
We take pride in how things are built. Quality, coherence, and care matter sometimes more than speed. We would rather ship fewer things done right than many things done carelessly.
We act like founders. If we see something broken, we fix it. We don’t wait for permission, committees, or perfect instructions. Process exists to help us move faster, not to give us an excuse to stand still.

Faros was founded by the founding team of Salesforce Einstein—the first, comprehensive enterprise AI platform. While leading the engineering efforts for Salesforce Einstein, the founders were frustrated by the lack of data-backed narratives when making decisions on engineering allocation and investment. Recognizing this as a problem plaguing most software engineering organizations today, the founders built Faros to empower engineering organizations with the data and insights they need to optimize their operations and drive better business outcomes.
Faros provides innovative and reliable AI solutions giving software engineering teams and leaders much needed visibility into every aspect of the software development process—from velocity and quality, to cost, team health, organizational goals, and more. With data that is readily available and actionable, Faros is transforming the way engineering organizations operate, building a future where every company is a world class software company.
