 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.
