More

We are a remote-first collective, meeting in person twice a year to plan, brainstorm, celebrate wins, and enjoy face-to-face time. We have core hours for cooperative working and calls, but outside of that your calendar is yours, so you can work the hours that let you perform at your peak while building a healthy life. Our release cycles are fast and intense, but they are followed by real downtime, and after big pushes we expect the team to unplug, recharge, and come back ready and stronger than ever. We offer generous paid time off, meaningful stock options, a remote-first setup, flexible hours, family leave, and company retreats twice a year in inspiring locations. Please note that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship in the UK at this time, and candidates must already have the right to work in the UK.
