LIFE AT HATCH

How thirty-two people across two cities actually work together.

The Hatch team working in the Brooklyn HQ

HOW WE WORK

Three operating defaults nobody has to argue about.

Eight hours of meetings a week, max. Calendars are sacred. Most days have at least four uninterrupted hours of focus time. If you need to schedule a meeting that breaks the rule, you also need to write the agenda — most of those agendas become async docs instead, and the meeting evaporates.

Writing is leverage. Big decisions get a written doc — short, with a recommendation, not a strategy deck. The team reads, comments, decides. Real code reviews and real doc reviews. Documents have authors and decisions have owners; ambiguity is the bug we fix first.

Quarterly we go offline together. Two weeks at HQ (Brooklyn one quarter, Berlin the next) plus two long weekends somewhere new. Travel is covered. Spouses and kids are welcome. We don't do mandatory fun. We do real work in the same room, then eat dinner.

WHERE WE WORK

Two hubs. Remote everywhere else.

Brooklyn office

112 VANDERMEER ST, BED-STUY

Brooklyn HQ

Ground-floor space, 5,400 square feet. Eighteen people on a normal day. Three minutes to the G train. Best coffee on the block is across the street.

Berlin office

REHBERG ALLEE 40, PRENZLAUER BERG

Berlin hub

Second floor, 2,800 square feet. Ten people on a normal day. Two-minute walk to Eberswalder Straße. The good döner is on Kastanienallee.

The other four — Nadia (Lisbon), Brian (Seattle), Yuki (Tokyo), Marta (Dublin) — work fully remote. They come to a hub twice a year on the company. Equipment, ergonomic setup, internet stipend, and a co-working membership all covered.

I was on parental leave during a Series A close. Mei called once — to ask if I wanted to be on the calls or completely off. I chose off. Nobody asked me to do anything for sixteen weeks. Came back in May, full pay, no catch-up taxes on my soul.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

We hire on evidence, not pedigree.

No role we post requires a degree. Every candidate at a given level gets the same working session, scored against the same rubric. The band on the post is the band we pay — it does not move based on what you earned before, and we never ask.

We're an equal opportunity employer. We don't screen on age, race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or veteran status, and we'll make any reasonable adjustment you need for the process — tell us at the intro call, or write it into the application.

If this sounds like the place — see what's open.
