What We Value

At Expanso, we believe technology should serve humanity. Our mission is to enable organizations and developers by enabling them to process data in real-time, wherever it's generated.

Our Philosophy

Solve Problems Early

Most companies fight fires downstream - wrestling with data that's already out of control, scattered across systems, and burning through budgets. We believe the answer is upstream: controlling problems where they start, before they spiral into chaos.

Control data before it controls your budget.

01

Think Upstream, Act Early

The best time to solve a problem is before it becomes a problem. Whether it's data architecture, team decisions, or customer challenges - we tackle issues at their source, not after they've spread.

Ask "why" before "how"
Prevent waste, don't just manage it
Design for the edge case first
Challenge assumptions, especially our own
02

Build with Transparency

Trust is earned through openness. We build in public, share our thinking, and believe the best solutions come from collaboration - not closed doors. Open source isn't just our technology; it's how we operate.

Default to open communication
Share knowledge freely
Admit mistakes quickly
Give credit where it's due
03

Enable Others to Succeed

Our success is measured by the success of our customers, our community, and our team. We build tools that give people control, not tools that create dependency. We teach, we listen, and we grow together.

Listen more than we talk
Enable autonomy, not dependency
Celebrate others' wins
Mentor and be mentored
04

Respect Constraints, Create Sustainability

Resources - whether compute, bandwidth, time, or energy - are finite. We build solutions that respect these limits, not ignore them. Efficiency isn't just good engineering; it's good citizenship.

Do more with less
Question the need to scale
Optimize for the long term
Build for tomorrow, not just today
05

Stay Curious, Stay Humble

The moment we think we have all the answers is the moment we stop growing. We ask questions, we experiment, we fail forward. Humility keeps us learning; curiosity keeps us relevant.

Question everything, including ourselves
Learn from every failure
Seek diverse perspectives
Never stop experimenting

How We Work

Listen at the source: closest mic, clearest signal.

Latency is a tax: cut round-trips; act in real time.

Ship code, not data: move algorithms to the source.

Clarity beats volume: fewer, sharper insights > petabytes of "maybe."

Governance by design: security, lineage, policy are table stakes.

Open and portable: your stack, your choice (now and later).

Reliability over vibes: measure in minutes; automate the boring; test the scary.

Customers > abstractions: real users beat perfect diagrams.

Bias toward now: if it doesn't work today, it doesn't work.

By decentralizing data processing through Compute Over Data, we're building a future where technology is more accessible, efficient, and secure for everyone.

We're looking for great people to join our growing team.
