Start-up experience - Experience working at early-stage start-up or similar high-growth environment.

Excellent listener and communicator - we're open communicators with our partners and ourselves. You should have experience engaging in cross-functional brainstorming sessions and communicating technically complex messages clearly and concisely. You understand the importance of truly listening to your users, team, and other stakeholders.

Entrepreneurial - we're a small team. That requires everybody to take initiative and ownership for their role, manage multiple priorities, be resourceful amidst ambiguity, and flex between independent and collaborative work as necessary. You understand, appreciate, and enjoy the responsibility and accountability that comes with being assigned ownership of project deliverables and their success.

Values:

Act with integrity and assume good intent - We're as proud of how we're building as we are of what we're building. We do the right thing, follow through, and look out for each other. If someone's stuck, we reach out and help them grind. We're a team.

Give a damn - We do what we do because we're committed to the cause - working for the next patient, the next caregiver. We listen to patients, their families, their doctors, and build to their needs. We take ownership of that responsibility, our work, and we commit to the mission.

Debate ideas, not personalities - Everything we've done has been for a reason, but precedent does not equal best practice. We constantly challenge our own ideas while respecting our team's contributions and competence.

Exceptional changemakers - We have to be exceptional - for patients, caregivers, and ourselves. We hold ourselves and each other to the highest standard. We step up to take ownership, leadership, and we follow through. We hire specialists who do the same.

Lean into the turn - Healthcare is in constant change. In turn, we constantly accept feedback and change with it. We're flexible, agile, creative, and we lean into it.

Perpetual growth - When you're creating the next frontier in diagnostics, nobody knows everything. We're always looking for how we and the company can learn and grow together.

We're serious about our work, not too serious about ourselves - We're committed to the mission, but your life at work is not your entire life. We have families, friends, pets, hobbies. We want you to bring your whole self to the team and experience your whole self outside of Epitel. That's why we have regular get togethers, generous vacation, and flexible schedules. The best thing to do with your life is enjoy it.

No cloak, no dagger - We're an open culture. Everybody has the full picture of what's happening within Epitel. No silos.
