Company Culture
A company culture built on trust, autonomy, and independence
We're remote-first, office-encouraged
— We work asynchronously and with high trust, but value in-person collaboration for creativity and speed.
Have an impact on millions of people
— Change how users and language professionals make transcriptions, translations and subtitles.
Work with a small team of bright people
— When we talk with most people, they have a hard time understanding how we got so far with so few people. Looking at
this
, we're close in ARR to a typical Series B company, but our ARR per employee is 10x the industry average.
Flexible working hours
— Work on the schedule that makes you the most happy and productive.
