What you may *not* love

• We’re small, so if you like more established companies, this role isn’t for you. You’ll help create our company’s culture.
• We’re an early-stage startup. Priorities will shift and plans are made based on experiments. And we move really fast.
• Everyone on the team is extremely mission-driven, and works incredibly hard to push towards our lofty ambitions. Most people won’t be cut out for it.
• You should be comfortable with a dash of chaos. This is not the kind of job where you will be told what to do every day.
