Work Arrangement
Hybrid
Team
We encourage employees to work from our offices to foster connectivity and innovation. Many teams offer hybrid options (work from home a day or two a week). If the posting is specified as Onsite, you are required to work from an office.
What We Value
- Strong sense of ownership in ambiguous environments. You step in to drive important outcomes when lines of responsibility are unclear.
- Ability to collaborate and empathize under pressure. You stay calm and work effectively during high-stakes incidents.
- Curiosity and motivation to learn. The systems and technologies you work on will change often, and you can quickly build the understanding to be effective through the changes.
- Ability to operate with autonomy in a rapidly changing environment where priorities shift.
- First-principles thinking. You want to thoroughly understand the systems you work on rather than applying band-aid fixes, and you ask questions to get there.
- Investment in the team around you. You share what you learn, give thoughtful feedback in reviews, and treat raising the team's overall capability as part of the job.
