CAREERS
We built the company we've always dreamed of
We're committed to creating a culture where everyone feels safe to be who they are and empowered to do their best work.
We're solving hard problems and want to do the best work of our lives together, but that doesn't mean spending our lives at work. This is one of the reasons that we're a remote-first team, so you can work when and where you're at your best without missing those precious daily life moments.
REMOTE FIRST
We're finding the right balance
We're building this together and will keep iterating so that we create a truly inclusive and diverse culture that's defined by actions rather than just words.
RETREATS
We believe face-to-face interaction is crucial for building relationships, which is why we organise a 5-day retreat every 3 months to strengthen team bonds and celebrate our achievements together.
MENTAL SUPPORT
We know remote work can get lonely and recognise the importance of mental health support for our small but fully remote team, so we have partnered with Oliva to offer access to qualified therapists whenever needed.
CHILDCARE
Juggling parenting and work responsibilities is hard, that's why we offer support to cover childcare costs, ensuring that all employees, can fully participate in retreat weeks and company gatherings without any additional burden.

VALUES
The principles that guide our actions
03
We care about the details
Whatever we’re doing, we pay attention to the little things. Those small details that give something a sense of quality and show that love and care went into making it. This isn’t about perfection though but rather about seeing a Minimal Lovable Product as the bar for something being ready to go out into the world - whether that’s our Alpha product or new feature releases.
We want Keel to be a great place to work, so we take the time to check in on our team mates. We invest time in getting to know each other as people, so that we can be there for each other when times are tough.
04
We tell stories
We believe one of the best ways to communicate is to tell a story. This might be the story of why we started Keel, the story behind a new feature, or a story about what our customers can achieve through using our product. These narratives give us a shared understanding of where we’ve been and where we’re going.
When we tell stories about the future we imagine a world that hasn’t happened yet and imagine our place in it. It’s through telling these stories, and attempting to bring them to life, that we will be truly innovative.
05
We succeed as a team
We root for each other and love to see others succeed. Our decisions and behaviours are driven by the pursuit of our collective success. When we find ourselves in front of an obstacle, we aim to stay positive and support each other until we find a way forward.
When we find ourselves in conflict or disagreement, we don’t try to force our opinions on others, but rather listen and seek to understand their point of view. We respect the unique contribution of every team member and treat each other with tolerance and care.
