Qualifications
- No investors, no debt. We control our own destiny and are focused on building a company that customers love.
- 100% remote. We've been 100% remote from day 1, however we're all in USA time zones and regularly collaborate together.
- In-person meetups every few months. We meet in person every ~4 months in a beautiful location to foster close relationships among our team.
- Transparent financials. We share our full financials every month with every member of the company.
- Systematically above-market salary. We compute all salaries using a formula designed to systematically pay above market, wherever you live.
- Above-market equity. We offer above-market equity grants, and we’ve even put in place a “progressive equity” plan where if there is a large exit event, employees end up with a progressively larger portion of the proceeds than their pro-rata equity holdings.
- Profit-sharing bonus. We set aside a pot of money at the end of each year based on profits and distribute bonuses according to a formula that uses as inputs your level within the company and the length of your tenure at the company.
- Hardware budget. We'll buy you a brand new state-of-the-art 16" Apple MacBook Pro (or other computer of your choosing of equivalent value) upon joining. It will be owned by you, not the company.
- Personal budget. We'll give you a personal budget of $1,000 USD per month (yes, per month) to spend on your workspace (e.g., a co-working space), health (e.g., gym, yoga), time (e.g., babysitter), and/or learning (e.g., books, courses).
- Medical/Dental/Vision insurance. We offer a range of high-quality plans with a large portion paid by the company. For countries other than the US, this includes extra coverage on top of your statutory insurance.
- Pension/401(k) contributions. We contribute 3% of your salary to your pension or 401(k). Our philosophy for the interviewing process for this role: Zero Fluff: Every interview will test a specific competency (Technical, Strategic, or Cultural).
- The "Doer" Filter: The process is front-loaded to identify candidates who excel at writing PRD and talking to customers.
- Asynchronous Respect: Since we are a remote-first, written-culture company, a portion of the process will involve written communication.
