First Principles

Hold the Possibility

Zoom out: See it, name it, nurture it

Explore and envision what could be; Expand the frame to invite others in; Regard obstacles as signposts to possibility

Own your experience

Claim responsibility for the story you are telling

Reveal and examine your assumptions; Be willing to be vulnerable; ask for help when you need it; Cultivate the conditions for doing your best work

Listen with care

Zoom in: Seek to understand, especially the unfamiliar

Investigate with kindness, curiosity, and an open heart; Find the common ground beyond your differences; Reflect, clarify, and confirm shared understandings

Honor shared agreements

Craft workable and visible agreements

Hint at what might be, commit to what will be; Recalibrate agreements when necessary; Repair trust and integrity when agreements are broken

Structure your thinking

Create a framework for communicating & shipping your ideas

Be intentional & get to the essence of your thought process; Consider context, intended purpose, & desired outcome; Pressure test your thinking with peers for clarity & perspective

Have each other’s back

Grow by stepping out of your comfort zone

Provide intentional, clear, direct feedback; Be appreciative, candid and compassionate; Extend grace, offer the benefit of the doubt

The first step is to Apply Online!

Tell us about your skills, expertise, and passions (we care more about what you can do than what you have done). We care deeply about fair and inclusive hiring. Our goal is to create opportunities for candidates to shine because of — not in spite of — their unique backgrounds, experiences, and identities.

Our hiring process is unique in many ways. Candidates will have the opportunity to interview with several members of our team. We also use performance tasks, assessments, and reference conversations to help us understand a candidate’s skill set and ways of working.
