How we hire

We value your time and the effort you put into applying. We’ll keep the process clear and focused, and tell you what to expect at each stage.

We look for people who are strong in their craft — and who thrive in how we work together. Both matter.

Most roles include up to four steps, depending on the position.

1. Getting to know you
If we’re aligned with your application, we’ll start with a short call to learn more about your experience and motivations.
2. Role deep dive
A focused conversation about the role, expectations, and how you approach your work.
3. Practical exercise & team conversation
Depending on the role, you may complete a practical exercise followed by a discussion with the team.
4. Final interview
A final conversation to align on expectations and ensure a strong mutual fit.

Our culture

How we work matters as much as what we build.

We Build Together

Great work is a team effort. We build collectively, share ownership, and support each other across disciplines.

Open & Clear

We value clear thinking and honest conversations. We create space for different perspectives and work in the open.

We’re Scrappy

We move fast and adapt quickly. Small teams, real ownership, and a bias for solving problems head-on.

Customer-Driven

We stay close to the people who use our products and focus on delivering lasting value — not just shipping features.
