A quick note on compensation:
We care a lot about employee experience and pay is a big part of that. We're currently on a journey toward internal pay transparency, with that work wrapping up by the end of Q1. We're focused on doing this thoughtfully, starting with the people who make ZayZoon what it is. Being more transparent with folks outside the company than with our own team wouldn't feel right so we're intentionally completing this important internal work first. In the meantime, we're always happy to share more about our compensation philosophy and what you can expect as part of our hiring process

Every application will be reviewed by our team - we're committed to giving each application the attention it deserves because we know how important this step is for you. We want to make sure you're always in the loop and will respond to every application.
