About the Company
How We Work
We are a truly distributed team, spanning North America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific, that values async and written communication over in-person meetings. We aim to foster an organization of self-starters with an entrepreneurial mindset, who feel empowered to be managers of one. Due to this choice, our organization doesn’t have explicit Product Management roles. As we believe everyone should be able to identify and focus on what they see as the most important problems to solve, rather than delegate that to a particular person.
Our Values
Own the Outcome: We are fiercely passionate and detail-obsessed. We take ownership of observed challenges to swiftly overcome obstacles and strive for outcomes that make our customers better off.
No Bulls**t: We all play a part in furthering our organization’s culture, when discussing ideas or challenging existing views, by communicating candidly with thoughtfulness and care.
Commit and Iterate: We tackle tough situations head-on by making informed bets. We define and measure our success based on our ability to take risks, fail with purpose, and continually iterate on our business.
A Note on Diversity and Inclusion
At Rainforest we believe that diverse teams improve our business. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
