Benefits we offer:
We offer competitive salaries and meaningful equity - everyone on the team should have a stake in what we’re building. Benefits vary by region to make sure you're covered in the ways that matter most. In the US, that includes health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, plus a 401(k) and flexible spending accounts. In the UK, we offer private healthcare through Vitality, a pension plan, and region-specific coverage. For our team members elsewhere in the world, we work with our global employer platform to offer equitable benefits and coverage. Regardless of where you live, everyone at Ditto can utilize flexible vacation time. And while we work remotely, our Atlanta and San Francisco offices are open if you ever want a place to work or meet up with teammates.
