Balancing ambition and wellbeing
Ambition without rest isn't sustainable. And working without ambition breeds complacency. Our team is proof you can have both.

Thinking in decades, not in quarters
We opt for solutions that will get us where we want to be in the long-term. We’re running a marathon, not a sprint.

Our core values

They are few, but they are mighty. From creating processes to decision-making and recruiting, we build our four core values into everything we do.

Ambition

You aspire to put a dent in the universe. You set high standards for yourself and those around you. You solve issues that have a high impact on our customers and our company.

Mastery

You care deeply about the quality of your work. You’re continuously learning and pushing yourself to the limits of your ability. As a champion of your craft, you are also a champion of your well-being – you work intensely, then disconnect completely.

Independence

Others can trust that you’ll deliver on time. You keep your word and trust your teammates to do the same. You are proactive, take ownership, and remain accountable with little or no direction.

Communication

Your communication is clear, concise, and engaging. You keep others in the loop and never go radio silent. You speak respectfully and foster warm relationships through your interactions. You’re culturally and socially aware and can appropriately navigate social situations.

How we work

Radical? Only for now. By using our core values to model our behavior, we show the world that a more empowering future of work is possible – and is already happening.

We embrace asynchronous teamwork

People have the space and trust to disconnect to focus on deep work. No one is expected to respond to messages immediately.

We trust our teammates by default

Autonomy and transparency are more effective motivators than time tracking and micromanagement.

We care about our team’s mental health

Adjusting to remote work can be hard. We respect that challenge and support people through the transition and throughout their remote career.

We embed our values in our products

Design is never neutral. We build products that embody our values and respect our users’ time and attention.

Giving back, globally

Part of being a remote company means being responsible citizens of the world. Every year we donate up to 2% of our revenue growth to support the vital work of internationally-minded organizations like:
