Working at Higharc

Remote work and travel: Our company is entirely remote, and has been since we were founded in 2018. Remote work means more time with family, less time commuting, and the flexibility to blend work and life. We value in‑person collaboration and asynchronous deep‑work time, which is why we schedule regular team meet‑ups in our hubs across the US and, depending on the role, prioritize hiring in those hubs. If your role requires frequent travel beyond pre‑scheduled team meet ups, we will represent that to the best of our ability as early as possible in the interview process.

Compensation and benefits: Higharc offers competitive salaries with significant equity, in a fast‑growing, well‑funded company. We provide comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with flexible PTO, and meaningful maternity/paternity leave to all U.S based employees that are full‑time. You'll also have access to other big‑company benefits such like short and long‑term disability plans and a 401K. We also provide a stipend to create the ideal home office and support ongoing L&D.
