OUR ETHOS

Homebrew for Enterprises with a Remote-First Culture

At Workbrew we are building the features that companies need on top of Homebrew, the most popular package manager on macOS (and growing on Linux).

Workbrew provides commercial support and MDM integration and will in future provide many other features around Homebrew needed by the enterprise.

At Workbrew we work hard but (usually) not long.

We value getting things done quickly and then being able to spend time with our friends, family and hobbies. We know that “time spent working” is an exceptionally poor metric for output, happiness or success.

Even amongst our founders: we are an international company. We do not have an office. We never will have an office attended weekly by all founders. We are truly remote first. When a meeting can instead be a document, pull request or a Slack message: it is. That said, we know that constant work notifications outside of your working hours are bad for productivity so we don’t want or expect you to be connected 24/7 to e.g. Slack.


Our founders have been working remotely for collectively over 30 years. Through this we’ve learned: humans like meeting other humans in person. It helps us bond and work better together. If you’re employed full-time here: you should be prepared to meet some other Workbrew co-workers in person at least once a year (most likely around the Homebrew AGM in February in Brussels at FOSDEM).

We're a remote-first team that's spread across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Here's what we value in our work:

Integrity

Balance

Efficiency

Responsibility

Stewardship

We’re building technology in a time when honest and ethical behavior is paramount. If faced between reaching growth goals on the one hand, and upholding principles on the other, choose the honorable path.


Negotiate fairly, in good faith, and keep your commitments. If you must break a commitment, alert the parties promptly and realign.


Be judicious in what we offer. In other words, don’t give away today what you might have to take away tomorrow.

If we can’t provide service at a high level of quality, don’t do it.

Mistakes are okay, hiding them is not. We can’t learn from mistakes if we don’t openly address them.
