Our culture

  • We hire talented, self-motivated individuals with extreme ownership and high growth orientation.
  • We value performance and not hours worked. We believe you shouldn’t have to miss your family dinner, your kid’s school play, friends get-together, or doctor’s appointments for the sake of adhering to an arbitrary work schedule.
  • We’re a remote-first team spread across time zones, so no office to report to – work from wherever helps you do your best work. Just a couple of things to keep in mind: pay is based on where you’re located, and you’ll need to keep a home base in the country you’re hired in. So while we love the “coffee shop today, mountains tomorrow” life, this isn’t a passport-optional, work-from-anywhere-on-Earth kind of remote – think flexible within your country, not borderless.
