Things to Consider
Not every job is a good fit for every person.
Here are some things to consider about this role:
- We're a small team and you'll be working remotely.
You'll always find support when you need it, but we expect you to work well independently.
- You're going to be asked to do tasks that fall outside this job description.
When challenges arise, we depend on every team member to come together to help overcome them.
- You're going to need to learn and try new things.
You should be comfortable with trial and error and be resilient to mistakes and temporary failures.
We're OK with rolling with the punches; you should be too.
Application Process
We want to be sure this role is fulfilling for you, value-adding for the business, and fun for everybody.
These are the steps in our mutual interview:
- If we're a good fit, we'll invite you to complete a skill-based project or assessment.
This typically takes 60-90 minutes and we'll pay you for your time.
- And if that goes well, we'll schedule you for a video interview with members of our team!
