We are an early stage team, and so by definition, our salary offer will probably be lower. Unlike other opportunities, you will have a significant chance to increase your options package in a way that you would not elsewhere.
If you are an entrepreneurial person who has always sort of wanted to start their own business, but you don’t want to build the infrastructure (operations, taxes, investments), join us. We thank all applicants in advance; however, only individuals selected for interviews will be contacted.
