• You prefer structured environments with clear hierarchies rather than working in a collaborative culture where everyone's voice matters.
• You're uncomfortable with the pressure and responsibility that comes with creating work that impacts millions of users and shapes industries.
• You avoid challenging conversations and prefer to keep problems to yourself rather than sharing openly and asking for help when needed.
Principle
We are not looking for someone to just fill a spot, we're looking for someone that drives and shapes our culture and collaboration and wants to push things further than ever before. We believe that as a strong collective of obsessed minds, we can go far. Far beyond design and technology. Our core principles that influence the way we think and behave:
• Don't settle for "good": We believe every project deserves more than "good enough." Move fast, deliver with care, and consistently exceed expectations without sacrificing quality for speed. We're going the long way and ideating until perfection.
• Own every decision: We make our thinking transparent and take full responsibility for our choices. Every decision is explained, justified, and shared, so everyone is aligned. We surface problems early and invite honest feedback because openness builds trust.
• Obsess over details: We sweat the details that matter: design, data, and user experience. Strip away noise and complexity everywhere else. This keeps our work sharp, effective, and easy to move forward while helping us grow together.
• Lead with purpose: Every engagement starts with a clear mission and focused team working on just two projects at a time. We avoid distractions, ignore shiny trends, and keep our process lean so we can adapt quickly and stay true to what matters most.
