What we offer Competitive salary — our salaries in the top percentiles of the Barcelona startup scene.

Have an impact on millions of people — Change how users and language professionals make transcriptions, translations and subtitles.
Work with a small team of bright people — When we talk with most people, they have a hard time understanding how we got so far with so few people. Looking at this, we're close in ARR to a typical Series B company, but our ARR per employee is 10x the industry average.
A company culture built on trust, autonomy, and independence Infinite runway, no investment pressure. We are 100% bootstrapped and profitable. Every penny spent comes from happy customers who are paying for a product they value. Many tech companies are laying off staff because they grew too fast and need funding to survive. We prioritised profitability and sustainable growth, and are not impacted by funding shortage.

We make it work — Have kids? Live far away? Do you have a non-normative life setup? The thing we care the most about is the team. Once we know we want to work with you, we make it work.
? In-Person culture — We believe nothing beats the magic of great people working together in person, in and outside of working hours. Expect meaningful, laughter-filled conversations over shared meals, cocktail nights, team-building activities like customised murder mysteries, and more
Beautiful office in Gràcia — One of the best areas in Barcelona. Our offices are much more than just a place to work. We like to see them alive 24/7, filled with friends and creative activities. Want to organise a community event, a breakfast with other designers, developers, etc.? The place is yours. Take a sneak peek here.
? Team Retreats — So far we've been to Paris, Mallorca, the Pyrenees, Aran Islands, Dublin, and Sweden, where we had a small island to ourselves
The hardware that you need to be most productive. 1 book/mo + e-learning platforms, conferences or courses of your choice — We truly want you to learn.
Private Health Insurance - We have partnered with Alan to best take care of our team both in Barcelona and while they're on the road, covering half of the full price of the medical coverage.
International, English-only speaking environment — We're building an international team and want to create an inclusive environment where anyone can join any conversation at any time, even if it's just kitchen talk.
