Work
- Mock-ups are on Figma: https://www.figma.com/file/qVSl9XjR8BYQGSuItpAmxU/Company-page?node-id=1%3A2&t=QvvTZbFPGNRrSB0N-0
Careers page edits
- Not super urgent
- Lead with benefits to job-seekers rather than mission
- Mission statement after the positions
- Mission statement doesn’t ring true to me. Is the mission for my mom to use EdgeDB directly? Our mission is to build the database developers love to use.
- Current sounds like the masses are dumb
- Try a rewrite
- Can we offer some compensation transparency?
- Colorado law appears to require this: https://cdle.colorado.gov/sites/cdle/files/7%20CCR%201103-13%20Equal%20Pay%20Transparency%20Rules_0.pdf
- Do we want to exclude Colorado with our postings?
- Same for NYC: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/cchr/downloads/pdf/publications/Salary-Transparency-Factsheet.pdf
- Similar laws in WA and CA kick in at 15 employees
- More detail about benefits
- It’s huge that you pay the entire health insurance premium. We should tell people!
- How much time off?
- Culture
- compassion? humanity?
- These are bundled up with some of the others we already mention, but they’re not quite the same either. I’ve felt strongly since I came on board that the team is compassionate and that they see me as a human being, not a human resource.
- Add this
- compassion? humanity?
- Uses old branding (colors)
- “Some projects you might work on” in TypeScript engineer description is awesome. Would love to see that brought to the other roles. (Happy to write some for the dev advocate.)

- Sync with Roman re: shifting
