About Miter
💜 Our mission
Our mission is to enable contractors to build great teams and increase profits.
We measure our success in terms of the cost savings and productivity gains we
drive for our customers.
If we’re successful, we’ll make it possible for construction firms to build more
with less, driving positive second-order effects on housing and infrastructure
costs and third-order effects on economic growth.
🌟 Our values
At Miter, our most valuable assets are our people and culture, and our talent
philosophy is to hire a lean, diverse team of incredibly talented people, pay
them well, and get out of their way.
We’re deliberate about building a culture where anyone can do their best work
and build meaningful and lasting relationships.
Our values reflect what we believe in and how we work:
* Win as a team: We’re determined and competitive, but we enjoy winning as a
team far more than we enjoy winning as individuals. We invest in each other
and love seeing each other succeed.
* Build the blueprint: We simplify complex problems in writing to create
clarity. Clarity aligns our teams, sharpens our decision-making, and
accelerates execution.
* More wood, fewer arrows: We prioritize ruthlessly and throw our weight into
only the projects that matter. We finish what we start.
* Give a damn: We’re determined to leave our mark and hold ourselves and each
other to high standards. We’re craftspeople at heart, and we enjoy the rigor
and discipline required to perform at a high level.
* Start with the customer: We are voracious students of our customers’
problems. We celebrate only when our customers celebrate.
Remote vs in-office work
We believe that great people can do great work from the office or from home.
Roughly half of Mitosaurs work from our SF and NYC offices, with the rest
working remotely. Each day at 2pm PT, we have “Mitogames”, an optional
collaborative game-playing session on Google Meet.
Miter is remote-friendly, but we believe that the best relationships are built
in-person. We hold all-company offsites 2x per year, and we encourage Mitosaurs
to meet and work IRL as often as is reasonable. Life is too short not to love
the people you work with.
Work/life balance
We’re a fast-paced, high-performance culture, which means that most Mitosaurs
work hard. If work/life balance is a top criteria in your job search, or if you
never want to work over 40 hours/week, Miter probably isn’t the right fit. Miter
is a great fit for those who take pride in their craft and want to accelerate
their career growth. That said:
* Mitosaurs are evaluated based on output and results, not input or hours
worked. Miter is a high-trust culture, which means we trust Mitosaurs to work
where, when, and how they want.
* Miter should never interfere with health and happiness. Family, friends,
mental health, and physical fitness should take priority over Miter.
* We offer unlimited vacation and encourage Mitosaurs to take all the time they
need to perform at a high level.
