Join Dify — Build the Bridge Between AI and the Real World

Values

Five principles.
One operating system for how we work.

Five values. One architecture. SIMPLE & SINCERE is the foundation — psychological safety — that makes everything else possible. HONOR YOUR COMMITMENTS is the base of collaboration. Between them: cognition, action, and reflection as the pillars of great work.

SIMPLE & SINCERE

The foundation — psychological safety. Communicate with clarity and honesty. Reduce the cost of collaboration. Build high-quality trust.

↓ supports

Cognition Layer

HANDS-ON

Hands-on. Prove it in practice. Ideas are validated by doing, not debating. Knowledge comes from firsthand experience.

Action Layer

EXPLORE THE EDGE

Explore the edge. Iterate at the boundary of what's possible. Use learning — not guessing — to drive both innovation and stability.

Reflection Layer

ASK WHY TO BEDROCK

Ask why until you hit bedrock. Deep thinking supports reliable judgment. Surface-level answers create surface-level products.

↓ relies on

HONOR YOUR COMMITMENTS

The collaboration base — trust network. Say what you mean. Do what you say. Own outcomes. High-trust teams are built from a track record of reliability.

How We Work

Builders first.
Always.

A Builder's time and creativity is the company's scarcest resource. Every process, every layer, every rule must pass one test: does this make it easier or harder for Builders to create value?

👥

Sincere people, full of ideas.

We want genuine, thoughtful people together — creating, growing, and getting rewarded. Proving a smarter way of working is possible: small sharp team, deep thinking, high-leverage tools. Not headcount and blind expansion.

🎯

One owner. One outcome. DRI.

Every significant decision has a single Directly Responsible Individual — not a committee. One person with clear authority and full accountability for the result. Ambiguity is where good work goes to die.

💡

Awaken good intent. Don't enforce compliance.

Drucker said management's essence is not control — it's awakening each person's desire to create something beautiful. We build the environment, not a system people must obey.

🔭

We must first become the future organization.

To know what organizations look like when AI is truly powerful, we have to become one first. Over 60% of our codebase is built by LLMs. Every workflow and every piece of infrastructure must be AI-native by design.

The Builder Test — every process, layer, and hierarchy must pass

✓Makes collaboration smoother

✗Nobody knows why it exists

✓Clarifies authority, accelerates decisions

✗Information passes up levels just to pass up levels

✓Helps good ideas get resources

✗Optimizes for personal interest, not the company

Triple Success

Technology ×
Taste × Business.

Like Stripe and Apple. All three, mutually reinforcing, or nothing. Single-dimension excellence is not what we're after.

Good Business

High output.
More freedom.

A long-termist business with a $500K Revenue/FTE target. This gives us patience to control the pace of creating the future.

Global by Design

Built here.
Seen everywhere.

130K+ GitHub stars, 175+ countries, customers on every continent. We build global products and earn global respect — that's not a goal, it's already happening.

AI-native from Day One. Company card for your tools.

We're an AI-native company — over 60% of our codebase is written by LLMs. Every workflow, every piece of infrastructure, every job function is expected to be AI-augmented. To make that real, every employee gets at least $1,000/month of pre-approved credit to spend on AI tools, software subscriptions, and developer tooling. No expense reports for standard tooling. Use what actually helps you ship.

✦ $1,000 / month minimum · pre-approved

🗓️

Monthly Innovation Day

Every first Monday of the month is yours. Explore, learn, build something for yourself — but stop what you're working on. This is the "1/4 milestone" toward our founding vision of a 4-day work week. The goal has never changed, and we intend to get there as the business grows.

✦ 12 dedicated days / year
