Why This Seat

You'll build the teams that take our technology to the fight, and the teams that keep us standing while we grow.

How We Recruit

• We know the work deeply. We are not generalists hiding behind job descriptions; we study the engineering, the domain, and the landscape until we can hold a real conversation with a practitioner.
• Every candidate who talks to us should call it the best recruiting experience of their career, and we each bring our own personality to get there.
• High touch, never scripted.
• One foot old school, one foot forward: we're obsessive about the fundamentals of recruiting and restless about finding better ways to do it. We play the long game and hire for what someone will do in two and five years, not just next quarter.
• And we'd rather define the industry standard than follow it.
• We hire for how they operate, not just what they know.
