People First
Nylas is a BIG advocate for the well-being of its employees, which is why we
have embraced a People First philosophy. It’s about giving more autonomy and
flexibility to our employees. It’s not about when, where or how the work is
accomplished; it’s about adopting a mindset of velocity and trust when
tackling the work. It’s about respecting individual working styles,
disabilities, and personal schedules, but also ensuring everyone has a better
work-life balance. The outcomes will always be more important than the
physical location.
Nylanauts have the ability to decide the best workspace or environment that
will result in more ideas, engagement, creativity, focus, collaboration, and
productivity. Why? Because we want our employees to be great; because we are
focussed on being a high-performing team. To achieve this mission, we remove
barriers and offer more autonomy. So, Nylanauts are encouraged to find those
environments that inspire them to be great. This means Nylanauts can work from
the slopes of Montana or from the beaches of Italy.
And if Nylanauts want to work from an office in one of our hubs (San
Francisco, Denver, New York City, Toronto, and London), they can! The
workspace is there to be utilized.
So, if you’re looking to join a fast-growing company with a beloved, daily-use
product, and an authentic mission that puts people first, we want to meet you.
