Why NOT work with us?

Two reasons:

1. You’ll notice that the phrase “fast-paced” is in this job description multiple times. Building an amazing, profitable company in a few years is not easy and we aren’t here to pretend like it is (believe us, we’ve done this before). Startups can be stressful and are not made for everyone, but on the flip-side extremely rewarding. The best performers get a career boost more drastic than anything they could imagine, but not everyone is fit for the job.
2. We sincerely believe in our mission to improve our customer’s quality of life and deliver high-efficacy, cutting-edge products. Our team includes world-class scientists, experienced product developers, and avid product-lovers, all laser focused on delivering the best products on the market. If this doesn’t light you up, this role may not be the right fit.
