We have a diverse, community-orientated team where failure is allowed. We fail fast but aim to succeed even quicker as were committed to enabling entrepreneurs.
We are a remote-first team.
This means that our teams predominantly work out of the office. We expect you to have a home or other office set-up, with reliable internet access. Team members have the option of going to a work space or office closest to them, where this allows. We may, from time to time, request team members to come to the office or travel to a location out of your area for complete team Meet-Ups
We value diversity at Peach and therefore we are committed to inclusion across race, gender, age, religion, identity, and experiences.
