Demand for quality engineers in the workforce is incredibly high, meaning that engineers have the opportunity to get choosy with the jobs they accept; Key Values is a job board that helps them to do so. The job board sorts postings by the values that the companies espouse, allowing prospective employees to get a good sense of whether the position they're applying for would be the right one for them.
The values within Key value are broken up into categories like team values, personal health, daily routines, engineering, career growth, and more. Some of the specific values are technical: things like using agile methodologies or a company with technical founders. Other values are highly cultural driven, though. The site includes values for things like workers eating lunch together or whether the office has good beer.
