The Role
We are looking for former founders, future founders, and people whose strengths span several roles. You’ll work directly with leadership on important problems across engineering, go-to-market, product, and operations. The scope will depend on what you do best and where you can make the biggest impact!
Operating Principles
- High agency
- You see something broken, you fix it or find the person who can. We celebrate the people who solve 90% of a problem before anyone asks.
- Build with care & urgency
- We bear-hug the customer. Former founders and people from fast-moving, high-stakes environments thrive here.
- Self-aware & hungry
- We stay warm, self-aware, and genuinely hungry. We elevate our peers, and ego doesn't last long.
- Invent in real time
- We move toward the ambiguity. We’re pragmatic, resourceful, energized by the fact that there's no playbook.
- If you're looking to do the most meaningful work of your career alongside people who push you to be better, we'd love to meet you.
