A Few Friendly Notes Before You Apply

What to Expect

We’ve done our best to outline the key responsibilities and expectations for this role, but like most things in our industry, the details can shift. This description should be seen as a general guide, which may be updated or modified from time to time, rather than a complete list. We’re a flexible team, and we hope you are too! We value adaptability and a collaborative spirit in our team.

Work Eligibility

In line with federal law, everyone we hire needs to be able to work in the U.S. and complete the standard employment verification paperwork when they join the team. This includes verification of your identity and eligibility to work for us.

Everyone’s Welcome

We hire talented humans of all backgrounds and identities, and we’re committed to building an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive. If you’re into respect, collaboration, and creativity, you’ll fit right in.

Let’s Talk Money

We believe in being upfront about pay. That’s why we include salary ranges or hourly pay expectations in all our postings, no guesswork required. While Pennsylvania doesn’t mandate this (yet), we think it’s the right thing to do. We also offer a great benefits package, starting on day one.
