Culture and benefits at Balena

Balena is a highly distributed, remote-friendly company that embraces flexibility. To us, this means being highly productive while still maintaining a healthy work-life balance. You need to be able to work remotely, and have dependable internet access available so you can join video calls. We rely on clear communication and the rule of "assume positive intent" to help us work together across time zones, cultures, and first languages. As an organization, we have little hierarchy and organize as needed to build complex features and solve big problems. We communicate proposals, discuss with others in the team, and accept feedback if it makes the result better. We value the ability to learn, which is more important to us than knowledge of specific technologies. We know that learning fast means being outside our comfort zone, which is OK -- we'd rather grow than let our assumptions get in our way. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diverse backgrounds. We maintain a work environment in which team members are treated with respect at all times and in which thoughts and ideas can be shared openly.
