    diverse and inclusive team.
  • We encourage everyone to
    take initiative and lead by example.

    dogfood our product at every opportunity.
  • We are
    communitydriven and deeply care about the success of our users and customers.

We care about work-life balance


Even though we are a small team and an early-stage startup, we are well-financed and with a very long runaway.

This allows us to think long-term, both in terms of strategy and building a healthy company culture.

We know that in order to build a lasting company, we need to think like we are in a marathon, not a sprint.

We don't track hours and we don't count PRs. We evaluate productivity and quality over a 3-4 months period. All roles come with 30 PTO days


We care about diversity in tech
If you come from an underrepresented background in tech, we strongly encourage you to apply. We are challenging ourselves to build a healthy culture that allows us to build innovative and successful products.


Our founder, Monica Sarbu, founded a non-profit organisation called Tupu that helps tech companies support diversity in tech through mentorship.
