Work from home – we are a distributed companyEveryone works from home, though the leadership team all live in central virginia.
Negligible travel – in general, we don’t travel routinely for projectsIf this is a specific concern, we’re happy to discuss.
Flexible work schedule – we require a certain amount of overlap with the rest of the team, but if you have a predictable schedule, we can probably support it, e.g., ending at 3:30 every day or being out every friday morning.
Good work life balance (really) – we ask our team to work 40 hours a week*That’s all: a good, productive 40 hoursAnd then we try our best to leave you alone off the clockWe do this in part because that’s how we want to live but also because we want our team to be recharged and ready to do their best when working*if you need to work fewer than 40 hours, that might be possible too; let’s talk.
Competitive compensation – we offer highly competitive salary and benefits, including generous time off, 401k, fsa, medical and dental insurance
