Benefits
We’re a remote-first collective, meeting in person twice a year to plan, brainstorm, celebrate wins, and enjoy some face-to-face time. We have core hours for cooperative working and calls, but outside of that your calendar is yours. Work the hours that let you perform at your peak while also building a healthy life.
We move quickly and hold a high bar, but we also believe sustainable performance matters. After major releases and milestones, we create space for the team to properly unplug, recharge and come back with the energy to tackle what's next.
