Recognise the work that holds your team together
The best teammates rarely top a commit chart. They review carefully, mentor others, write tests, and unblock people who are stuck. Engineering Awards surfaces those contributions so you can celebrate them out loud, not just the work that happens to be loud.
Good teammates go unseen, and so does your culture
Reviewing a teammate PR, leaving a thoughtful comment, mentoring a junior, writing the test that catches a bug before customers do. This is the work that keeps teams healthy, and it almost never shows up in a dashboard. So recognition drifts toward whoever shipped the most visible feature, and the engineers quietly doing the connective work feel invisible. When leaders reward raw output, they train people to optimise for the wrong thing.
Awards that celebrate being a good teammate
Engineering Awards reads your existing GitHub activity and recognises the behaviours that make teams stronger - fast and helpful reviews, careful and reviewable code, mentorship, broad collaboration, and test contribution. You cannot game being a good teammate, which is exactly the point.
Connect your work GitHub account
A five-minute, GitHub-native setup. Awards are calculated from the PRs, reviews, and comments your team already creates. There is nothing extra to install or maintain.
Surface healthy behaviour automatically
CodePulse highlights the engineers who review quickly and helpfully, unblock stuck teammates, keep PRs small and reviewable, mentor others, and contribute tests. Each category shows the top contributors with the metric behind it.
Recognise review quality, not just review count
Dedicated Review Quality awards celebrate the engineers catching bugs and security issues, leaving thorough comments, and giving constructive feedback. These reward the substance of a review, not rubber stamps.
Bring it into your team rituals
Use awards as concrete material for shout-outs, retros, and one-on-ones. Export any category to CSV. Frame recognition around behaviours the whole team can learn from and repeat.
Key Metrics You Will Track
Helpful Reviewer Awards
Lightning Reviewer, Unblock Hero, and Code Mentor recognise the engineers who respond fast, clear blockers, and give the most reviews to teammates

Quality Guardian, Clean Code Advocate, and Careful Coder celebrate high test pass rates and small, reviewable changes rather than sheer volume
Collaboration Awards
Team Player, Collaboration Star, and Cross-Pollinator highlight the people who review more than they create and work across the codebase
