How We Work at GoIdentity
Principles & Team

Published on: Nov 03, 2025

At Goidentity, how we work is as important as what we deliver. 

We’re a small, focused team building a secure, user-first identity verification platform. Our success depends on clarity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. This page outlines the principles, rhythms, and norms that guide how we operate, ensuring we stay aligned, accountable, and always improving. 

Our principles 

  1. Clarity over complexity – We prioritise simplicity, clear ownership, and decisive action. 
  2. Data-driven decisions – We use metrics, not opinions, to guide our choices. 
  3. Transparency by default – All major decisions and updates are visible in Confluence and Jira. 
  4. User-first mindset – Every action should improve the user experience or business value. 
  5. Iterate and improve – We release, learn, and refine continuously. 
  6. Learn from mistakes - We aim to identify causes of failure and make sure they don’t happen again.
