To maintain the speed our partners expect, our New York, Chicago, and Lithuania teams work in-office 4 days a week. We’ve found that being physically side-by-side is the only way to solve complex problems in real-time and stay truly accountable to the products we ship. When you’re here, you’re working directly with the people making the decisions. To support that work, we provide competitive compensation, equity, and a 401(k) match. We also offer full insurance coverage, a wellness reimbursement, a company-provided phone, and a personal development allowance. Finally, we value the time you spend away from the office with generous PTO, observed holidays, and extended leave.</span></p> <p data-path-to-node="5"><strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Work Authorization</span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Applicants must possess the legal right to work in the country where the position is located at the time of application.
