Being part of 221Buddy means embracing a culture built around trust, empathy, and purpose. Every feature we ship, every decision we make, is guided by one question: does this help families? We move fast, stay curious, and never lose sight of the real people on the other side of the screen.
What we believe
Our values aren't wall decorations — they shape every conversation, code review, and product decision we make.
Safety Is the Foundation
We build for the most vulnerable users first. Every product decision considers the child, the parent, and the edge case. We never compromise on safety for the sake of speed.
Trust Through Transparency
We communicate openly — with our users, with each other, and about our mistakes. Candid feedback delivered with kindness is how we grow. We debate ideas courageously and make decisions swiftly.
Unlock Possibilities
We view challenges as opportunities to go deeper and understand root causes. Clarity about the real problem always leads to better answers than shortcuts or quick fixes.
Fly Together
No isolated silos, no passive observers. We support each other, elevate our teammates' contributions, prioritize integrity over convenience, and share success collectively.
Remote-first, by design
221Buddy is a remote-first team. Our processes, tools, and culture are designed from the ground up for distributed work — not bolted on as an afterthought. You can do your best work from wherever you do your best thinking.
Flexible schedules
Async by default. We overlap on what matters and protect time for deep work.
Coworking access
Stipend for coworking spaces so you can work from anywhere with a great setup.
Intentional meetings
We write things down. Meetings exist to decide or connect — not to report status.
Truly location-agnostic
Great work doesn't come from a particular zip code. Hire the best, wherever they are.
In-person moments
We invest in bringing the team together for offsites that build real relationships.
Written culture
Proposals, decisions, and context live in docs — not in people's heads or Slack DMs.
