F.A.Qs
How do I get in touch / where to apply?
We were doing the “email us to this address” for a while now. But it was hard to keep up with all the approaches. Please see application link in the job description and use those - they will direct you to application form which will go into our systems so we won’t miss your application
Where are you located?
We are a fully distributed startup. This means, that while we have our HQ registered in San Francisco, CA - the engineers and members are working from their homes (or… wherever!) all around the globe 🌏.. Our office is virtual - our GitHub, Slack, Notion, etc.
We are going to some length to build our virtual community (donut meetings, virtual-coffees, friendly-chats, etc) - and, of course, are trying to organize real-world meetups when we can (company wide and otherwise), but our day-to-day interactions will always be remote-first and asynchronous-first.
If you really like working in a physical office, and meeting your co-workers daily - maybe this will not be the best fit for you, it’s not for everyone!
What is the day-to-day routine like (a.k.a how many meeting will I have to attend)?
As a 100% remote company, our practices and culture are to match - asynchronous communication first.
Most of our engineers have very light meeting loads and the general approach is to leave most of your schedule open and flexible for you to decide.
