How we work

Remote, Philippines-based. Core hours are 9am–1pm Philippine Time every workday. The rest of your hours are flexible within the same day.

Time tracking. We track hours in Hubstaff against client projects, so each client gets the time they pay for. It also records activity data, and we do not use that to judge how well you do your job.

AI is part of the work. We use AI tools across the company. We want people who use them well and check what comes back, not people who trust them blindly or refuse to use them.

We are still building. Some of our processes are newer than we would like. You will help shape how this work runs, not only follow a finished playbook.
