We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.

We keep things simple, async-friendly, and respectful of your time:

Apply – Our team will review your application.

Intro Call – A short video chat to get to know each other.

Interviews – Up to four calls with: Team Leads Future teammates Someone cross-functional from product, growth, or engineering (depending on the role) Someone from our leadership/founding team

Team Leads

Future teammates

Someone cross-functional from product, growth, or engineering (depending on the role)

Someone from our leadership/founding team

Decision – We may follow up with a final question or go straight to offer.

All communication is remote and we aim to move fast.
