Jobs at Brandkit

Work Style & Culture

We are an Auckland, NZ head-quarterd company based at GridAKL in Wynyard Quarter, Auckland, New Zealand. This is a co working space.

However our small team works mostly remotely, and visits the office rarely, for occasional meetings or when physical presence is required. Otherwise most meetings and collaboration are by video call or my writing up your work, questions etc for asynchronous responses.

We practice a calm asynchronous working style, as promoted by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, authors of the books Getting Real, Remote, Rework and It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work.

Therefore, you are not required to live in Auckland, or even New Zealand. However NZ is our primary time zone, so you'll need to be somewhere there is a some crossover of work hours.

We are an independent bootstrapped and profitable company that has been in business since 1997.

We pride ourselves on building the best product we can, and favour honest ethical growth over false claims and over promising.
