Passion projects or self‑initiated work that shows curiosity and taste. Massive ownership: you’ll define the systems that shape how this startup grows. Small, sharp team: direct access to key decision‑makers and fast feedback loops. Well funded scaling organization: get in on the ground level. Great in‑office environment, with snacks/drinks, and lunch provided on all in‑office days. If this sounds like you, we’d love to see your portfolio— especially work that shows systems thinking and bold brand ownership.
