Firstparty is an early-stage B2B software startup. Our customers are marketers
and software developers who are looking for tools to help them customize user
experiences within their products and across the Internet. Using Firstparty,
they collect event-based information about user activity and utilize this data
to build custom product workflows, marketing automation, and better performing
advertising campaigns.
Our work style is fully remote and a-synchronous, with a focus on results.
This means we do not require any set schedule or set number of hours from our
team members, and instead focus on setting clear achievable goals we can work
toward together. We have very few meetings, and rely on written communication
for our meeting agendas, conversations, decisions, and process documentation.
This is a 100% remote job.
