Salary & Benefits

Compensation

$79,394

Perks for FT team members:

💸 You’ll pay no NY State Income tax for the next few years, due to our participation in the Startup NY program (when working from our office FT at least 6 months of the year). This makes your effective pay higher.

⏰ Flex scheduling: make your own schedule and work when it’s best for you (and/or the team, depends on role. For example, sales people need to work when potential customers are available!).

🏝 6 weeks of PTO each year between vacation, holiday, and sick time.

👶 Paid parental leave (12 weeks).

What's it like working with us?

We’re a small team, so we focus on making our collaboration as productive as possible, with minimal meetings disrupting your flow. We have weekly meetings for each team to collaborate and set goals and ~monthly full team meetings to go over larger business objectives.

We’re flexible to the needs of our staff with an open, communicative environment where everyone has access to everyone else on the team. If you have ideas to change processes, policies, or anything else, you just grab Ryan (one of our co-founders) to chat, and we’ve changed things because of this in the past.

We value inclusivity and diversity, and know our product has benefited from LGBTQ team members impacting the design of character creation (no gender choices, just body styles), or members with ADHD giving feedback on UX designs. Also, being more diverse simply makes a company stronger as research shows you’re less likely to have group think. Our Founder/CEO says that nothing is sacred or beyond questioning, and we love when people are willing to just work alongside everyone, including our CEO, as equals.

We’re still small, so there is ample room for growth as our company grows. We always promote from within first if the person is up to the task — which means you could end up creating an entire team around you, if that’s the type of role you’re interested in.
