Ownership

Health

100% of medical, dental and vision for employees and dependents, from day one.

Time off

Four weeks minimum, plus a paid December shutdown and 16 weeks parental leave.

Hiring process

Four steps, two weeks

No take-home longer than three hours, and we pay for it. You will meet the people you would work with, not a panel of strangers.

  • Step 1

    30-minute intro with a recruiter. Scope, level and compensation are aligned up front.

  • Step 2

    Technical conversation with the hiring manager: real systems, real tradeoffs, no trivia.

  • Step 3

    A focused exercise or code review, paid, in the domain you would actually work in.

  • Step 4

    Team interviews and a reference check. Decision within two business days.

What we look for

  • Evidence of production ownership, not just participation
  • Comfort with ambiguity and written communication
  • Respect for security and operational cost as design constraints
  • Opinions held loosely, backed by data

Veltrix is an equal opportunity employer. We do not sponsor visas for most roles at this time; exceptions exist for senior infrastructure positions.
