We’re building a winning culture, and we’re looking for people who are up for the challenge. These are the values we expect you to embrace from day one:

- Operate with Urgency: Speed matters. We focus on what’s essential, make fast progress, and iterate quickly. Execution drives learning, and learning drives impact. Always have a bias for action.

- Bring the Intensity: This is not a 9-to-5 job. We are building something hard, and that requires real commitment.
