We realize applying for jobs can feel daunting at times. We don’t expect you to check all the qualification boxes and encourage you to apply if you have experience in some of the areas.

The salary range for this role is $100,000 to $150,000 USD base + equity + benefits. This range is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting and reflects compensation for roles based in New York City. Actual compensation may differ for positions in other locations and we may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range. An employee’s pay position within the wage range will be based on several factors including, but limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
