You can make a decision when faced with competing priorities and limited information.\n\n* Someone interested in the why not just the how. You like to analyze situations and won't be satisfied with a shallow analysis.\n\n* Creative problem solvers and risk takers. You like to take initiative in pushing a project forward but can make adjustments based on team feedback.\n\n* Strong communication skills. You can validate and communicate your decisions clearly.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOther things to know:\n\n\n\n* We are a small, remote team in different time zones and communicate with a variety of tools throughout the day. You should feel comfortable with the intricacies of this type of work situation.\n\n* Sometimes we meet up! You can expect to travel at least 2x a year: once for our all-hands meetup and another for a team retreat (each ~4-5 days)\n\n* We want to have a major impact on raising the standard of trust online. To do this we believe in a focused approach, with company-wide objectives, and with each team member working on a single top priority at a time.\n\n* Our work philosophy is built upon empowered project management. All team members have opportunities to run projects.\n\n* All projects are run transparently, and we encourage everyone to participate in areas of interest throughout the company. Anyone and everyone can (and should) ask questions and offer feedback around the product and internal projects.\n\n* We try to exemplify our values (build trust, question assumptions, and validate direction) in everything we do.\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you think you might thrive in this environment, we would love to hear from you using the application below. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n
