How we work
These aren't posters on a wall. They're how we actually make decisions.
Customers first, always
Every decision we make starts with 'how does this help our customers?' We're building long-term partnerships, not shipping features.
Craft matters
We care deeply about the quality of our work. Whether it's code, design, or a Slack message, we take pride in getting the details right.
Bias toward action
We'd rather ship something imperfect and learn than debate endlessly. We move fast, but we don't break things—our customers depend on us.
Remote, not distant
We work across time zones but stay connected. Weekly all-hands, async-first communication, and quarterly offsites keep us aligned.
Benefits that matter
We've built benefits around what actually makes people's lives better, not what looks good on a job posting.
Competitive salary + equity
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Unlimited PTO (we actually take it)
$5,000 annual learning budget
Home office setup stipend
Quarterly team offsites
12 weeks parental leave
401(k) with 4% match
