Work Culture
High Camaraderie: We are in the trenches together, so we take care of each other and celebrate our collective success.
Low Ego: We believe in collaboration over hierarchy . We have a flat decision-making structure—great ideas can come from anywhere.
Work hard. Team members are asked to work 50-60 hour weeks. Some late nights and occasional weekends will be expected. But this isn’t about burnout—it’s about growth and impact. If you want to build something meaningful and grow fast, let’s talk.
Have fun too! We are not just about grinding. We recently took a work offsite to Mexico City, where we did a hackathon, explored the city, and bonded over tacos. . In the past, we've hosted a Karaoke Night with one of our first customers, a music school in Manhattan—turns out debugging and belting out pop songs go hand in hand.
Growth Mindset: We also attend industry conferences to connect with our users, learn, network, and push the boundaries of our craft
