Built by engineering leaders, for engineering leaders

With over 40 years of combined experience leading engineering teams at companies like Meta, Indeed, and JPMorgan Chase, we lived the challenges of scaling teams. We conducted countless performance reviews, navigated complex re-orgs, and were constantly asked to justify our team's impact to the business.

The tools available were always a source of frustration. They focused on simplistic, easily-gamed metrics like lines of code or story points. They failed to capture the nuanced, high-impact work of our best senior engineers—the mentorship, the architectural guidance, the "glue work" that holds a team together.

Worse, these tools often created a culture of mistrust. They felt like surveillance, forcing managers into the role of "scorekeeper" rather than "coach."

We knew there had to be a better way. That's why we founded Aude.ai - to build an engineering intelligence platform based on a foundation of trust, transparency, and a deep respect for the craft of software engineering.
