Our tech headcount strategy in a nutshell

1. Hire any engineer that clears our (extremely high) bar
2. Maintain ratios with xfunctional team ~1:5 design, ~1:10 PM, ~1:10 DS, ~1:30 PMM, ~1:20 POPs
3. Cap growth rate (<50% YoY) to maintain culture, onboarding productivity, and resource scarcity mindset
4. Revisit single prioritized list of placement across existing & new bets (80/20) quarterly
