Remote Work Environment and Personal Obligation Management
As a remote-first company, we are committed to providing our team members with the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, to maintain our standards of excellence and ensure uninterrupted productivity, we have specific expectations regarding the remote work environment.
Dedicated Workspace: Employees are expected to establish a dedicated, quiet workspace that is free of distractions. This environment should be conducive to professional activities and mirror the focus and privacy one would expect in an in-office setting.

Personal Obligations: While we recognize the challenges of balancing professional responsibilities with personal obligations, including childcare, we rely on our team members to manage these aspects effectively during work hours. It is essential that personal obligations do not impede work commitments. Employees are responsible for arranging appropriate care or support to ensure they can dedicate their full attention to their work tasks without interruption.
We believe these practices are key to fostering a productive and respectful remote working culture, where every team member can contribute their best work. We evaluate candidates based on a holistic view of their qualifications, including but not limited to their skills, experience, and education. Our goal is to offer a competitive compensation package that reflects the value we believe each employee brings to our team. The final salary for the position will be determined after a thorough evaluation of the successful candidate's relevant qualifications in relation to our compensation structure, which is designed to reward contributions and performance.
