Culture and benefits at Institute of Free Technology

Culture overview

We're looking for contributors that share our passion for building a web that puts privacy and security first. Our principles can be found at our.status.im/our-principles - it's important to us that these resonate with any new team members. As we're a remote organisation and have minimal hierarchy it's essential that our team are self motivated and disciplined. We have an organisation-wide town hall meeting every two weeks where every team gives an update on progress, and most teams have weekly meetings. Aside from that, most work happens asynchronously over the Status messenger or collaboration via docs. Our Engineering team use Github, and the whole organisation uses Wrike (a project management tool) for managing work deadlines, collaboration, etc. Teams tend to meet up in person once or twice per year and the whole organisation gets together at least once per year for face-to-face time. So far, we've visited Bangkok, Prague & Istanbul.
