And we travel a few times throughout the year so you can get to know your colleagues in person.

• Excellent healthcare, vision, and dental with all premiums covered.

• Our 401(k) plan matches your contributions (without any vesting period) up to $20,500.

• We're stable, well-funded, and driven by our privacy mission, not profit. This means we’re capable of focusing on what is best for users without distractions or compromises.
