We do our best work when we’re in the same room. To maintain the speed our partners expect, our New York and Chicago teams work in-office 4 days a week.

When you’re here, you’re working directly with the people making the decisions. To support that work, we provide competitive compensation, equity, and a 401(k) match. We also offer full insurance coverage, a wellness reimbursement, a company-provided phone, and a personal development allowance. Finally, we value the time you spend away from the office with generous PTO, observed holidays, and extended leave.

We seek AI curious talent who are proactive about using emerging tools to increase signal quality, reduce friction and improve outcomes to deliver product faster, provide better service to our partners, and to streamline processes. Your ability to leverage our internal tools and technology to drive results is as important to us as your core domain expertise.
