We Work Remotely
"The culture is a major part of what makes Janalta an awesome place to work. From socials to games of Sketchful - you have freedom to connect with your coworkers on a fun and personal level and we have a team that really works well together. Also, being part of a smaller team means your contributions are meaningful. You aren't lost in a sea of developers. It's easy to see the positive impact your work has for our team and our users. And that's why I love working at Janalta." - Krystal Fraser, .NET Web Developer
 
At Janalta, content is our product and we rely on the power of words to grow and engage an online audience. Social media is the digital handshake that welcomes in new visitors – and keeps them coming back. Data informs our every move, and we aim to work quickly, collaboratively and creatively. We also have fun. We believe in working hard, getting the job done and enjoying a beer on Fridays. You’ll also get flexibility in where you work, what hours you work, how much vacation you take, and what you wear. We expect hard work but respect work/life balance.

Who we are looking for:

Humble – Listen to the data
Happy – Tap-dance to work
Gritty – Be persistent, not complacent

What does the team culture look like at Janalta?
 
Diverse, inclusive team - our team is balanced and employs people from all different backgrounds and ethnicities. The benefit here is everyone has a different view on problems and is able to bring many different ideas to the table.
Shared values - our team is as aligned on values as we are diverse. At our core, that includes gritty, happy, humble, agile.
Flexibility - we like to think we’re tough on goals, thoughtful on process &strategy, and flexible on working around our team member’s needs (e.g. communicating asynchronously, shifting work hours, etc).
Team not a family - though we are a chummy, friendly bunch, we understand that we are a team, not a family. That sometimes leads to hard decisions and clear accountability but that is how we will be better and perform at our best, as a group and individuals.
Ownership - we collaborate closely on goals and have also ensured we have refined processes and support systems in place. Otherwise, each person genuinely “owns” their work and goals and should expect to work autonomously without someone breathing down their neck :)
Room for growth - there are opportunities beyond your role to grow within our team at Janalta.
 
So, however you identify and whatever background and experiences you bring, please apply if this is a role that would make you “tap dance to work” every day.  We would love to add your biological uniqueness to our own! :-)
