How We Work

We care more about the things you do than whether you’re at your desk at 9am every day. That said, most of us work Monday - Friday from 7ish UTC to 4ish UTC, and ideally you’ll overlap at least 4 hours with that. We try to be as asynchronous as possible, but still feel that we need some “synchronicity” to work well.

Our values are:

• Be fearless. Be entrepreneurial.
• Simplify things.
• Own your decisions. Your successes. Your mistakes.
• Enjoy diversity and inclusion.
• Work as a team. Trust each other.
