Careers
Nine people. Three seats open.
How we work
Four days of making, one day of reading what we made. Everyone reads help tickets. Everyone reads books the system wrote, including the bad ones.
Where
Portland for the engineering and illustration work, remote in the United States for the rest. We are together in one room one week a quarter.
What we pay
Bands are published on every role below and we do not negotiate off them. Early equity, real health cover, and the sort of budget for children's books you would expect.
