Our Work Culture

Fully Remote

Work from anywhere with reliable internet. We do not have an office and never will. Async-first communication.

Flexible Hours

Work when you are most productive. We care about outcomes, not hours. Some overlap with team time zones is required for collaboration.

Small Team

You will not get lost in layers of management. Everyone talks directly to everyone else. Your work ships directly to users.

Learning Budget

We allocate a yearly budget for courses, books, conferences and tools. Continuous learning is expected, not just encouraged.

No Crunch

We do not do death marches. Deadlines are realistic or negotiable. Burnout is not a badge of honor.

Honest Communication

We say what we mean. Feedback is direct but kind. Disagreements are about the work, not the person.

Hiring Process

When we hire, the process looks like:

1. Application review: We review your résumé, portfolio or writing samples.
2. Conversation: A 30-minute video call to understand your background and answer your questions.
3. Skill assessment: A paid, real-work sample task (e.g., build a small tool, write a sample article, audit a page).
4. Team interview: Meet 1-2 potential teammates. Ask hard questions about the work.
5. Reference check: Talk to 1-2 references of your choice.
6. Offer: Transparent offer with clear expectations.

Total process time: typically 2-3 weeks from application to offer. We do not do "whiteboard" interviews.

Compensation

We are a small, advertising-funded, free product. That means:

• We compensate fairly for the region and role
• We are transparent about compensation in job postings
• We do not match big tech salaries — but we also do not demand big tech hours
• We offer flexibility and autonomy in exchange for a smaller salary than a huge company

We know this is not for everyone. If you are optimizing for maximum compensation, larger companies are a better fit. If you value independence, flexibility and working on genuinely useful tools, we might be.

Diversity and Inclusion

OmniColor is committed to building a diverse team. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities and experiences. We do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other protected characteristic.

Our team is small, but we are deliberate about hiring people with different perspectives, because better decisions come from diverse input.

No Unsolicited Recruiting

We do not accept unsolicited recruiting agency submissions. Any agency that submits a candidate without a prior signed agreement will not be compensated if we hire that candidate.

Stay in Touch

Even when we are not hiring, we welcome you to:

• Send your résumé: careers@omnicolor.pages.dev (for future consideration)
• Contribute content: See Write for Us
