TEAM, CULTURE, VALUES
We have been fully remote since our start in 2008. We’re looking for creative, capable, and collaborative team members to join in and help build our momentum.
We are a small but mighty team. We appreciate friendly people who can solve problems, get along with others, and tell us how to be better. We also aim to live a happy, healthy life away from work. We believe in reasonable hours, ample vacation time, and fun hobbies.
Communication is a big thing for us. We use Slack for chatting, Zoom for facetime, and Asana for planning. Our team meetings revolve around company updates, brainstorming sessions, feedback and check-ins, team building, and social events.
At PickFu, we value diversity. We strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds and identities to apply.
HOW TO APPLY
We will begin reviewing applications on January 1. After that, applications will be considered on a rolling basis. In lieu of a traditional cover letter, send us a video (if you’re shy, you can send us an audio file) introducing yourself and why you want to join the PickFu team. Our interview process looks like this: a 15-30 minute screening call and a 60-minute interview with our co-founders. Finalists will be asked to submit references.
