Office concept · We work remotely

Do great work. Live a full life.

Unlimited leave. A real minimum. — At least 36 working days of paid vacation, every year.

Take at least 36 working days of paid vacation per full year, with a prorated minimum for your first partial year. This is a requirement, not a target or a cap. Public holidays, sick leave, and parental leave are separate. Managers plan coverage and check that everyone actually disconnects.

Healthcare for you and your family — Medical, dental, vision, and mental health support.

Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums for you and your dependents, plus mental health support, virtual care, and an employee assistance program. We include life and disability cover, fertility and family-building support, and a wellness allowance.

Good food, wherever you work — A daily food allowance, wherever you work.

A daily food allowance, wherever you are working. Taking care of the team should reach your kitchen, not stop at an office door. Your local allowance and how it is paid are set out in your offer.

Room to grow — Up to US$10,000 a year for learning.

Up to US$10,000 each year for professional learning: courses, books, certifications, conferences, and coaching. We make time for learning and review compensation twice a year.

A workspace that works — Equipment, home-office, internet, and coworking support.

Company-provided equipment, an ergonomic home-office setup, internet support, and coworking support when you need a change of scene. Company gatherings and their travel costs are covered, including travel lounge access, with accessibility and caring responsibilities considered.

Family comes first — At least 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave.

At least 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for every new parent, including adoption, from day one. Longer local statutory entitlements are honored. Paid sick, bereavement, and caregiving leave give you room for the unexpected.

How we work

Remote first. Written by default. — Write clearly. Collaborate across time zones.

We document decisions, share context openly, and communicate asynchronously. Meetings have a purpose and an agenda. Your time zone should not decide whether your voice is heard. We agree on collaboration windows when a role needs them.

High standards. Real ownership. — Small teams. High standards. End-to-end ownership.

We look for excellent judgment, deep craft, and the ability to finish difficult work. Small teams own outcomes from the first question to the customer experience. We challenge ideas with evidence and treat one another with respect.

All in, with time to switch off. — An exclusive, full-time commitment. Protected time off.

This is a full-time commitment: no side projects, second jobs, freelancing, or outside businesses during employment, subject to applicable law. Bring your professional focus here. In return, we protect focused work, time off, and a life outside work. Commitment does not mean being available around the clock.

Cash salary. Direct equity. Published salaries worldwide, plus ownership and local benefits.

Every role has a fixed annual gross base salary in US dollars, paid in cash through payroll. Equity and employer benefits are additional. These figures are before personal taxes and employee deductions. If payroll uses another currency, we agree the conversion method in your offer.

We apply the published salary for each role globally, without a location discount.

Everyone is a part owner.

Every employee receives a direct share grant in the company, rather than stock options. Your offer states the number of shares, ownership percentage on a fully diluted basis, vesting schedule, share rights, and applicable tax treatment before you sign. Private-company shares are not guaranteed to be liquid or retain their value.

Local benefits, on top.

Singapore: full statutory employer CPF contributions on top of base salary for eligible citizens and permanent residents. The employee share remains a payroll deduction. United States: a 401(k) with employer matching for eligible US employees, based on plan eligibility rather than citizenship. Eligible US employees also have access to HSA/FSA options. Elsewhere: applicable employer pension and social contributions. Your offer includes the local benefit schedule, allowance amounts, insurance coverage, and retirement-plan terms before you commit.
