Wildbit

We’re a small software company that believes business should be human. Right now, we’re focused on Beanstalk, Postmark, DMARC Digests, and People-First Jobs.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to build and grow products for yourself, this is the place. We use our own services every day to be more productive in our work.

We’re a close-knit team, even though we’re remote-first and spread from California to Egypt. We’re team-centric, profitable, and sustainable for the long run. We take our work seriously and value quiet time, beautiful design, and clean code. Of course, we also have a lot of fun.

Our Values

Be self-motivated, but team-oriented. We inspire one another by taking initiative. We work independently, but not in isolation. We count on our teammates to help us grow, and support their growth in turn. We’re proud of what we accomplish together.

Be guided by purpose (not process or practice). As a team, we work with intent. We ask until we understand why. We don’t use best practices unless they’re best for us. We treat process as a tool, never hesitating to adjust if there’s a better way to achieve our goals. We aren’t afraid to move on from things that no longer serve us—and we don’t trade long-term impact for short-term gain.

Celebrate every opportunity to learn. We know our stuff, and love that there’s always more to know! We’re not afraid to take calculated risks, and welcome what we learn regardless of the outcome. We encourage iteration, and are energized by every chance to improve.

Stay calm and keep perspective. We’re grounded, practical, and pragmatic. We recognize that most things are not fire drills. We make decisions thoughtfully and deliberately, instead of reacting impulsively—especially when the stakes are high.

Help one another do good. We’re all here to have a positive impact on the world around us. We help each other achieve our best by practicing empathy; staying humble; communicating thoughtfully; and acting with respect. Our trust in one another is freely given—because it’s continuously earned.
