- **Team & autonomy**: Small teams own meaningful product areas; high ownership and rapid iteration
- **Remote/office**: Not explicitly stated, but likely hybrid or remote‑friendly given the global nature of the business
- **Notable**: Founders and early employees have built profitable products at iconic companies; strong emphasis on “world‑class in everything we do”
