• Respond proactively to production-level alerts and participate in on-call rotations as needed

Requirements

Work Arrangements

Our current plan is that all professional employees will be located within commuting distance to NYC and will come into the office 3 days a week.

Benefits and Paid Time Off

We provide healthcare, dental and vision coverage. Currently, we do not specify the number of days of paid time off an employee may take (which is often referred to as unlimited paid time off). Benefits are subject to change as the company grows and evolves.
