Careers · who we're looking for
A small team that takes the long way around.
We hire slowly. We pay honestly. We don't grow for growth's sake. We'd rather have eight hundred happy teams than eighty thousand forgotten ones — and the people we hire feel the same.
If you've shipped something you cared about into the hands of customers you could name, we want to talk.
How we work
Four habits, not a culture deck.
Listen first.
Every product decision starts in a real customer conversation. We don't ship features no one asked for.
Write before you build.
We propose changes in plain prose first — design and code follow when the sentence holds up.
Few projects, deep work.
Two big things a quarter, not eight. The deep ones make the brand.
Async by default, sync when it matters.
Three time zones means writing is the first language. Calls earn their place.
Things that are hard
We won't pretend it's all gentle.
If you join, these are the parts you'll feel. They're not deal-breakers — but you should know about them on a Tuesday, not in your third week.
- 01The hardest unsolved problem
Channel parity is never finished.
Discord adds a feature, Slack ships a new threading model, email clients hold opinions about HTML. Our promise — that a reply on one channel feels native on every channel — costs us a steady stream of small, unglamorous engineering. If you only want to build the next big thing, this isn't the desk for you.
- 02The shape of the team
Six people means you're the janitor too.
We don't have a dedicated platform team, an SRE on call, or someone whose job it is to write the migration guide. The week your feature ships, you also draft the changelog entry, answer the first ten support threads about it, and notice the docs that need a footnote. That trade buys ownership; it doesn't buy specialisation.
If either of those sounds wrong for where you are right now — that's a real signal. We'd rather you find out here than three months in.
Perks, honestly
What's worth saying out loud.
- Honest compensation.
- Open salary bands per role, paid in your local currency. Equity for early hires.
- Six weeks paid leave.
- Including public holidays. We expect you to take it.
- Workspace stipend.
- $1,500 a year. Buy the chair.
- Two retreats a year.
- One in Trondheim, one somewhere with sun. Travel covered.
- Tools that don't fight you.
- A laptop and the software you ask for; we don't ration licenses.
- Quarterly health day.
- A working day off, no questions, for the appointment you've been postponing.
