OTHERS
● Comfortable working in a fully remote setting - The Kroma Product & Tech team is
remote-first. We all come from all over the place and our team’s time is better spent building
instead of commuting to the office. Applicants should both be comfortable collaborating
remotely with the rest of the development team.
● Capable of working in a High-Trust and High-Autonomy environment - The team puts a
heavy focus on outcomes above all else and gives people the trust and autonomy to deliver
those outcomes however they see fit.
● Eager to Learn, Hungry to Growth - We love exploring new ideas, tech, and
implementations and investing in small, time-boxed R&D activities. Above all, we love
growth-driven people. Applicants should be life-long and voracious learners. We don’t
expect people to display instant mastery but should instead exhibit a solid and robust
learning process and the hunger to learn and grow in their craft.
● Open and Collaborative - We put a huge premium on being upfront and honest. If you are
struggling or need assistance, ask for help before it becomes a problem. It takes a village to
build software after all.
● Cross-Functional and Critical Thinking - Software is complicated. We love people that
display the ability to think outside their primary role, responsibility and/or craft in the product
and engineering team.
