Help us reshape the future of work.
We're a small, deeply-technical team building the marketplace freelancers wished existed. Remote-first, document-heavy, ownership over consensus. If you've shipped real software for real users, we want to talk.
- Async-first, async-default
- Top-of-market cash compensation
- Meaningful equity grant
- Annual offsite, your home base
Small team, big surface, no theatre.
We don't believe in standups, status meetings, or performative agile. We do believe in clear written specs, shipped code, and saying what you mean.
Ownership over consensus
You own a surface end-to-end - spec, code, ship, on-call. Decisions are made by the person closest to the work, not by a committee.
Writing > meetings
Every project starts as a written brief, every decision lands as a written ADR. Meetings exist to unblock, not to update.
Ship weekly
We deploy small changes often, monitor, and roll forward fast. No big-bang releases, no quarterly waterfall.
Pay, time, and trust.
Competitive comp
Top-of-market cash salary, paid monthly. We refresh your offer to market every 12 months - no need to renegotiate.
Meaningful equity
Every full-time hire gets equity in WorkOfficially on a four-year vest with a one-year cliff. Your upside grows with the company.
Work where you live
Remote-first since day one. You set your hours, we run on async. Annual paid offsite somewhere worth flying to.
Time you can use
5 weeks paid time off, 12 public holidays of your choosing, fully paid parental leave (24 weeks any caregiver).
Pro setup
$3,000 home-office stipend on day one, refreshed every 24 months. We pay for the tools you actually need to do the work.
Health & care
Health, dental, vision in every market we hire in. Mental-health coverage with no questions asked. Annual physical on us.
