Company Description

The only thing missing is you! We need a skilled human with a start-up background, who can work well with autonomy, who loves process, has the thoughtfulness to do what’s in the best interest of the team, and the desire to always produce your best work. We do what’s right for the client, not just what’s easy. And that’s what makes our jobs gratifying. Along with unlimited PTO, a dog-friendly office, more social event and opportunities than most folks can handle and a team that just frankly, kicks a** its a no-brainer to apply. We are a fast-growing startup of over 35, and that means we’re agile. We’re able to try new things and experiment. It also means we make time to celebrate the work and each other when we hit our quarterly goals, or every Friday at 5 pm. Our favorite dive bar, Desi’s, is just down the street and right across from Liberty Station, so we’ve got our location going for us, too. Basically, we need someone who’s willing to roll up their sleeves and build some amazing sh*t with us. So if you’ve got a lot of grit and an equal amount of gumption, keep reading...
