Head of People

ABOUT GORDIAN

We're on a mission to remove all unnecessary friction from air travel. The airline industry is built on a fossilized layer of technology and this causes billions of dollars of friction and lost opportunities for travelers and travel companies.

We started with one product that has gained us huge customers like Priceline, Hopper, and Trip.com but we are just getting started.

Our core values are Freedom, Impact, and Ownership. We find people with grit, intelligence, and flexibility, then set them loose on our highest-impact problems. 

We have a unique approach to remote work where we all work remotely but come together every 2 months to collaborate in person. You can read more about it here. 

Come join us and change air travel forever.

HYBRID REMOTE ENVIRONMENT

We have a system for hybrid work called 7+1.  Read about it here.  Our remote teammates travel to Bellevue, WA for a full week once every two months and we generally work US ET to PT working hours.  We think it combines the best of remote and in-person environments and it requires everyone not working from Bellevue to travel 6x per year.
