Things to know

For better or worse, we're a startup; our team dynamics are different from companies of different sizes and stages.

Being a tiny team and super early stage, we prefer everyone working closely from same floor. In short, we prefer working from office. It makes us efficient and helps us to move faster. This is true for now.

We're a small team, with high ownership, who are not only passionate about what we do, but seek to be exceptional as well. At the time of writing we're 4, serving tens of thousands of users. There's a lot of stuff going on, and a lot of ambiguity. We want you to own it. We believe that ownership is a key to growth, and part of that growth is not only being able to make the choices, but owning the success, or failure, that comes with those choices.

Perks and Benefits

At Peerlist, we provide best in class benefits. Great salary, full health benefits including dependents, relocation assistance, and much more.

Beyond compensation, there are a few things that we believe that make working at Peerlist truly unique:

Autonomy: We have very few meetings. 15-mins daily sync and a weekly sync on Wednesday to plan next week. We think your time is sacred.

Ownership: We're a company with a high ownership, high autonomy culture. We hope that you'll come in, help us, and over the course of many years do the best work of your life. When we bring you onboard, we expect you to change the company.

Novel problems/solutions: We're a startup that's well funded, with cool problems, which lets us implement novel solutions! We abhor "busywork" and think, whether it's community, engineering, operations, etc there's always opportunity for creative and high leverage solutions.

Growth: We want you to grow with us, but we know that talent is loaned, so when you figure out what area you want to grow in next, whether it's at Peerlist or outside, we'll make sure you land there.
