Although you should expect to be available during most east coast hours, this role will also require regular synchronous collaboration with India-based members of the engineering team, on India Standard Time. For example, if you are located on the east coast, you may design your working hours to have meetings with the engineering team starting at 7am ET (4:30pm IST) some days, while finishing earlier in the afternoon. Compensation, Benefits and Culture The base salary range for this role is $175 - 190K, depending on experience. Comprehensive healthcare coverage, including fully covered premiums for individuals (with the option to cover dependents for a cost) and a dedicated mental health benefit 4 weeks of PTO Computer and equipment provided Company travel budget and professional development budget as needed Interview Process: After you submit your application, it will be reviewed by the hiring manager and select members of the team. If it seems like we’re a good fit for each other, we will follow up and schedule a 15-30 minute phone call with one of our teammates to get to know you. If we jointly decide to move forward, you can plan to (virtually) attend a 45-minute video interview with a member of our Product Team. Next there will be a deeper technical conversation with our Founder and Chief Product Officer. The final stage would be to meet (2-4) other members of the team via video conference for additional conversations about your approach to collaboration, your relevant experience to current projects, and alignment with our values.
