Benefits
A flexible remote-first work environment
- Be part of an international team with the flexibility to choose where you live, as long as you are available to be online and available during the hours 09:00 to 17:00 UK.
- Regularly join the rest of the team for in-person sessions somewhere in Europe (travel and lodging expenses covered by Signaloid).
Competitive compensation
- Yearly bonus based on company's Objectives and Key Results (OKR) performance and bi-yearly bonus based on your project team's OKR performance.
- Simple transparent compensation across the company.
- All full-time employees receive attractive stock options package.
A driven but respectful environment
- We never speak ill of others even if we differ in our viewpoints; we show up every day with a sense of urgency; we treat each other with respect as though each day were our last.
- No isolated "projects": No person in the team works in isolation and a successful outcome for the thread of work you lead will inherently depend on getting help from (and helping) other members of the team.
