    • Highly competitive benefits - We regularly review our compensation brackets to make sure they are highly competitive with the top 30% of the Denver market. We have high expectations of our engineers, and we want to make sure they are rewarded for meeting them. Our benefits package is great (including fantastic health insurance), and we offer unlimited paid-time-off. We offer stock options to share in the success of the business. And of course, we have the typical startup on-site goodies like snacks, beer, and even a cold-brew coffee tap.
    • Develop your career - We take career development seriously. We have three main paths for engineers (Core Contributor, Technical Leadership, People Leadership) and each of those has multiple titles, with compensation brackets and associated responsibilities and opportunities. We integrate feedback through manager 1v1s, performance reviews, and anonymous engineering team surveys. We want our engineers to succeed and not only build great things at Blinker, but significantly grow their careers at the same time.
    • Healthy, transparent, results-oriented workplace - We try to limit heavy-handed processes and overly prescriptive planning. We limit meetings, favoring ad-hoc and proactive communication. We care deeply about the team "vibe" and ensure we have an inclusive, fun, and engaging environment for everyone. We believe information is critical for our team to succeed, and we build tools to democratize data and support an open and honest environment. In our autonomous workplace, engineers make important decisions everyday and must feel they have the right amount of information to make those decisions - which is why we favor transparency .
