We obsessively search for ways to improve the experience for our clients and partners. This requires extraordinary response times, proactivity, and ensuring that everything we do, from product strategy to offline communications, is a top-tier client experience. • Challenge convention: Instead of detailing all the reasons why an idea may not work, we constantly question things to determine how a viable idea may be put into motion. • Commitment to continuous improvement: We find ways to personally scale each day by pushing ourselves up the learning curve. • Meritocracy, not politics: We place the utmost value on results and rewards through merit, not reward actions driven by political agendas or behavior. • Civil Discourse is embraced: We believe open, intellectually curious conversations are required to consistently arrive at the best decisions. Respect is paramount in our dealings with one another, but our mission is always to get the right answer collectively, not to be right. • Embrace technological change: We adopt tools and techniques that make us faster, smarter, and better. We stay open to innovation, especially around AI and automation, and drop outdated methods without hesitation. This includes actively integrating AI assisted development tools into your daily workflow and staying current as the landscape evolves. Complacency kills progress — we value adaptability and curiosity. • Additional Details • A Broadband internet connection required • Seniority: Mid-level • Salary: $105K–$125K base salary + bonus + equity • Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision. 401(k), and responsible vacation time (PTO) • Employment: Full-time • Compliance with Allocate’s Code of Ethics is a given for this role. • The base pay offered will be determined based on the candidate’s experience, location, skills, training, certifications, education, internal equity, and market data.
