The Human We’re Looking For

• You’re agile. You understand working at a startup will involve constantly changing priorities, and you are able to adapt and shift focus accordingly.
• You’re humble, and self-motivated. This job will ask a lot from you, and we hope you’re excited by a chance to grow into a new space, own large projects independently, and push the limits of your knowledge.
• You’re judicious, knowing when to push forward and when to pull back. We’re a small team and judicious about where we spend our time. You should evaluate the trade-offs involved in individual pursuits to say when it’s (not) wise.
