A fast moving, curious, and resourceful team
Customer First: we seek to understand every aspect of what makes our customers tick. What makes them happy? What are their pain points? We then focus on delivering amazing products to solve those problems and give our customers super powers.
Intellectual curiosity: we're always learning, interesting in diving deep and going directly to the sources.
Humility: everything goes smoother when work interactions are "low ego". We select for nice people who are confident, not arrogant. Humility is important because admitting you don't know something is the first step to learning and improving.
Speed: as a startup, speed of execution and the tightness of our feedback loops are two of the advantages we have over massive global companies.
Lambda is a remote first company. Every team is 100% remote with the exception of manufacturing and certain supply chain teams. Product assembly is done out of our San Francisco manufacturing facility.
What is Lambda's culture like?
From team members at Lambda:
"Low ego, collaborative, passionate about what we do, eager and excited to learn."
"During the interview process, for me, it was how humble the leadership was. Accepting what you know and what you need help with is a huge plus in a startup."
"Despite being 100% remote, we do a good job of connecting and building culture. Whether it's the weekly all hands, casual slack channels, frequent cadence of getting to know colleagues at meetings, or team off-sites."
What is the work life balance like at Lambda?
Most people leave work around 5 or 6 PM to have dinner with friends or family. We care more about quality of work and productivity than merely "putting in the hours". Working smart and in the right direction is what matters. Lambda is a parent friendly company with paid maternity and paternity leave.
As a startup, sometimes important tasks, shipments, or launches happen that require extra time in the evenings. However, when somebody chooses to work extra at Lambda, it's a personal decision, not an expectation.
Are there any company events & in person meetups?
The pandemic aside, Lambda participates in half a dozen industry conferences a year. We often use this time to work and hang out with colleagues face-to-face. In 2022, we plan to have two company-wide in-person gatherings plus individual team off-sites peppered throughout the year.
Is Lambda profitable and financially sustainable?
Lambda has been profitable for years. We nearly 10x'd top line revenue since 2018 and we have raised over $30M from great investors.
Do you hire outside of the US?
We currently hire remote workers in the US and Canada. For software engineers, we include the US, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia.
All manufacturing team members work out of our San Francisco Bay Area manufacturing facility.
What are the benefits / company perks / vacation plan?
Benefits:Healthcare, 401k (no match [yet]), dental, vision, work from home internet + phone stipend.
Vacation plan: We offer Flexible PTO to all team members that allows them to take the time they need. We believe in focusing on performance and work output rather than being behind a desk. Lambda has five (5) sick days, and twelve (12) paid holidays each year. The Lambda Break is a time where we as a company close all operations except critical to the customer during the last week of the calendar year.
Paid Leaves: At Lambda, team members enjoy the benefits of having financial security during some of life's most stressful moments, should they experience those. We offer paid parental leave, paid personal medical leave, and paid caregiver leave.
