Company Culture
A company culture built on trust, autonomy, and independence
️ We're remote-first, office-encouraged — We work asynchronously and with high trust, but value in-person collaboration for creativity and speed.
✨ Have an impact on millions of people — Change how users and language professionals make transcriptions, translations and subtitles.
Work with a small team of bright people — When we talk with most people, they have a hard time understanding how we got so far with so few people. Looking at this, we're close in ARR to a typical Series B company, but our ARR per employee is 10x the industry average.
️Flexible working hours — Work on the schedule that makes you the most happy and productive.
Beautiful office in Gràcia — One of the best areas in Barcelona. Our offices are much more than just a place to work. We like to see them alive 24/7, filled with friends and creative activities. Want to organise a community event, a breakfast with other designers, developers, etc.? The place is yours. .
International, English-speaking environment — We're building an international team and want to create an inclusive environment where anyone can feel at home.
