As a small and early stage start-up, alignment on culture and values is our #1 priority. People that are successful at Pocus, regardless of role, strongly identify with the following:

1. You are a humble over-achiever. You’re constantly asking for and excited about feedback that helps you learn and grow.

2. You don’t take yourself too seriously. You like to work hard but not without plenty of smiles and laughs along the way 🙂.

3. You are delusionally optimistic. Big challenges and projects excite and motivate you.

4. You have exceptional integrity and always do the right thing, even if and especially when no one else is watching.

5. You are a problem solver, not a problem identifier. Your first reaction when encountering something that isn’t working is to think “What can I do to make this better?”

6. You strive to perfectly balance individual initiative with humility and collaboration, understanding when it is better to ask for help and when it is better to solve a problem independently.

7. You move with a self-imposed sense of urgency. You strive to constantly find the perfect balance between speed and quality and you understand when to make that tradeoff.

8. You have a high bar for quality and you honor your commitments.

9. You are excited about building foundations and you love learning new things as part of that. You have a bias towards documentation and writing things down.

10. You are excited about working in a high-growth, fast paced environment where you can have meaningful ownership and impact on the business, and understand that sometimes that requires short sprints (key word short - we recognize that this is a marathon and we don’t want you to burn out!)
