What You’ll Love About Us (Benefits and Perks)

• High performance company culture. You won’t be a cog in a machine. Rather you’ll be a key member of a high performance team that is getting shit done. This is a place to grow and realize your potential, no matter what level you’re at in your career.

• We value your ideas. At Shastic, my door is always open. Need help? Let’s talk! Have a vision for the future of the company? I want to hear it! Think I suck at my job? Help me grow!

• Rest and relaxation. Employees get 2 weeks of PTO a year and Paid Holidays aligning with the Federal Calendar.

• You’re more than an employee, you’re a person. Every co-worker you’ll meet is committed to treating you with respect and kindness. You won’t hear stuff like, “It’s just business.”

• This is a resume-making position, where you’ll learn a lot and have a lot of responsibility. Opportunity will come knocking for high performers - we will need leaders as we grow!

• Entrepreneurial to our core – Not only are we a startup, but we need curious people who can see the invisible to achieve the impossible and help us scale.

Core Values

1 - Meritocracy – we’re building a Meritocracy, where the best ideas win -- not based on who has the bigger title. We use data to answer questions, we test ideas, we ask what’s right not who’s right.

2 - Direct & honest communication (transparency) – to be successful we have to face the truth – both about ourselves, work, our strengths and weaknesses. This starts with each other, which means we give direct feedback. So feel free to argue your points. When you bring this attitude to your profession, it becomes a place of personal development and self-actualization.

3 - Ownership & Accountability – the best people are the ones who OWN their position, tasks and even things that go beyond their ‘day to day responsibilities’. They never say, “that’s not my job.” Instead, they proactively spot problems and solve them. Afterall, we’re a startup, we need to “figure it out.”

4 - High Performance – We’re building a team of high performance. If someone wants an easy job that doesn’t challenge them, they shouldn’t work here. This is a place to grow, learn and see what you’re made of. For hyper learning.

5 - Fun - We spend 8 hours a day together - might as well enjoy it. That means we’re polite and engaging with each other. It means we’re helpful and supportive. It also means we empower life - not just make demands for work.
