We believe a happy team is a solid team; it's as simple as that.

• Fully remote: We believe the best team is one that isn't limited by proximity to a physical location. Whether it's the west coast or east coast, we work with team members across all of the U.S. time zones.
• Collaborative team environment: Your voice is important, and we believe the best projects include contributions from everyone.
• Great benefits: 30 paid days off and 401(k) matching. What more could you ask? Oh yeah, we cover 100% of health insurance premiums for all team members and 50% for their spouses and dependents.

• New equipment: In order to produce incredible work, we have to have incredible equipment. Sorry if you were hoping for a 7-year-old PC. That's just not our style.
