People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and direct feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it often ships here in days.&nbsp;</p> <p>That pace isn’t for everyone. If you are optimizing primarily for consistent work-life balance, use the interview process to pressure-test fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.</p> <p></p> <h3>Leadership Principles</h3> <p>We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.</p> <ul> <li>Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability.

We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.</li> <li>Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise.
