we value authenticity, trust, kindness, and communication. these values are essential for building a remote-first organization. our hiring process ensures we find people who share them, but we believe it's worth restating them here.

authenticity

we show up as ourselves and speak plainly.

• share context, not just conclusions. explain the “why” behind decisions.
• admit uncertainty early. it saves time and builds credibility.
• give accurate status updates. green, yellow, or red is better than silence.
• prefer clear writing over polished spin.

trust

we assume positive intent and earn reliability through actions.

• do what we say we will do. if a commitment is at risk, communicate early.
• default to open by sharing docs, decisions, and data across the team.
• optimize for long‑term trust over short‑term wins.

kindness

we are direct and caring at the same time.

• critique work, not people. be specific and actionable.
• make space for different perspectives and lived experiences.
• celebrate wins. recognize effort, not just outcomes.
