Are we a fit for each other?

At this stage, how you operate is arguably more important than what you'll do day-to-day. As an early team member, we're looking for strong alignment to the following core values.

• Effort on our inputs: We prepare diligently, leave it all on the "field", and move on quickly. Focusing on good habits and work ethic, not individual outcomes, ultimately creates a winning culture and a successful company.

• Earn Trust: We keep our commitments to our customers, partners, and each other. We listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully. We strive to demonstrate empathy, inclusion, and intellectual honesty.

• Intelligence Drives Operations: We learn continuously and have the humility to quickly recognize when our current assumptions are wrong so we can readjust accordingly.

• Hire And Develop The Best: Good players like playing on good teams. We look to raise the bar with every hire and promotion. We work hard to identify and develop high potential.

• Take Decisive Action: The only sure path to continuous improvement is a hypothesis-driven approach with a bias for speed of experimentation.
