Compensation
As a remote international company, our compensation is determined by considering competitive market rates, experience, and cost of living.
Remote Only
We are a remote only company with team members in 15+ countries across many time zones.
Hours / Time Management
We have a flexible approach to time-management and we believe in giving team members the opportunity to control their own schedules. We'd like to see a world in which work can fit around your life, not the other way around! In practice this generally means a few pre-agreed sync points a week, with the rest of your working time entirely up to you – we do not have mandatory core hours.
Async Biased
As a company spanning many time zones we tend towards async working arrangements and design our processes and working environment with this in mind.
Consensus Driven
We try to foster a genuinely collaborative and consensus driven approach to work rather than top-down direction and micro-management.
