Async-first communication culture with written RFC design proposals. Generous home office setup stipends, flexible work hours, and dedicated deep-work blocks without meeting overhead.

Audited compensation bands aligned to top-decile market rates. Equity grants include 4-year vesting schedules with annual refresher grants based on individual technical contributions.

Dual-track career progression allowing technical leaders to advance to Principal and Distinguished levels without switching to people management. Continuous learning budgets provided.
