Customer Obsession - We start with the customer and work backwards. We aim to earn trust through consistent delivery, thoughtful listening, and by obsessing over customers. Intellectual Honesty - We operate with high trust and low ego. Ideas matter more than titles, and we communicate openly and directly while assuming good intent, even in strong disagreement. Bias for Action - We set high standards and move quickly to meet them. We prefer building and learning with customers over debating in the abstract, and we iterate based on real feedback. Extreme Ownership - We take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks. Ownership means seeing problems through to completion and ensuring solutions truly work in practice. Benefits and perks

Competitive salary plus meaningful equity package Comprehensive medical benefits and generous PTO Flexible work arrangements Direct impact on company direction and technical decisions High ownership and the opportunity to make a career-defining impact Visa sponsorship
