We're a 120-person, remote-first team with hubs in Santa Monica, Austin, and Toronto. Engineering runs in small cross-functional pods that own their surface end to end: you'll pick the stack, write the tests, and watch your own dashboards. We deploy dozens of times a day and keep on-call humane.

What we offer:
• Fully remote with an optional Santa Monica office two blocks from the beach
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents
• Meaningful equity for every employee, with a 10-year exercise window
• $2,500/year learning stipend and a $1,500 home-office budget

We're hiring across backend, front end, data, sales, and customer success. If you'd rather solve unglamorous problems for real businesses than chase hype, you'll like it here.
