What to expect

We value commitment, autonomy, honesty, and willingness to learn. In the end, it’s all about building great experiences for people.

We want our team to get a say in how we do things and feel a sense of ownership. You will be more than just a cog in a system. You will have the opportunity to build the system.
• Flexibility - You’ll have the freedom to work flexible hours and maintain a healthy work-life balance. We expect at least a couple of hours each day when the whole team works together.
• Remote work - We like to think about ourselves as remote natives. One of the perks of our remote team is that we genuinely trust you to get your job done. You can work from anywhere you see fit. No strings attached. Just make sure you have a decent internet connection.
• Culture - If you’re looking for an agency with a daily happy hour and a ping pong table, we’re probably not the place for you. Our team shares a work ethic that is focused on quality. We hire for openness, willingness to learn, and a curious nature. If you like to work in teams that value great work over loud voices, get in touch.
