How we work

We’re a fully remote team spread across the world. Working across time zones means we focus on clear communication, transparent information, and moving fast without unnecessary friction. Our working hours center around European time zones.

We trust people to take ownership, make decisions, and deliver outcomes, while staying aligned through a mix of real-time teamwork and async communication.

Perks & benefits

Ownership: Meaningful token allocation so you share directly in the upside you’re helping create.
Vacation: 25 or 28 vacation days per year (depending on location).
Learning: Annual education budget to invest in your growth.
Flexibility: Flexible work schedule so you can balance life and work on your terms.
Retreats: Annual team retreats in amazing locations — not corporate offsites, but trips you’ll actually look forward to.
