We keep our engineering structure simple. Rather than assigning people to a ladder of levels, we focus on the scope of their work, their reliability, and the impact they have on the team over time.
Every engineer joins Dust as an Engineer, regardless of seniority. We expect engineers to be dependable, move with purpose, and expand their impact as they become familiar with the team, the product, and our customers.
We’re prioritizing building our team with an in-person culture at our offices in Paris, London, San Francisco, and New York because we value the magic that happens when talented people work closely together.
We have an office-first culture. Some of the best things about building at Dust are the energy, the fast decisions, and the unexpected conversations that unlock a hard problem, which happen because we are in the same room. Being together is not a formality, it is how we do our best work, and it is something we actively protect.
That said, we hire people with strong judgement and we extend that trust to how they manage their time. When working from home makes more sense for what you need to get done that day, we trust you to make that call.
