(12) Offer.

The role reports to the Hiring Committee, which currently consists of fourteen people and is hiring for its fifteenth seat.

Benefits include competitive salary (revealed after round 11), equity (subject to board approval, quarterly), and exposure. We are a family. Specifically, we are the kind of family that schedules mandatory fun and then grades you on participation.
