Equal Opportunities

Janalta Inc. is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating a safe, diverse and inclusive environment. We encourage qualified applicants of all backgrounds including ethnicity, religion, disability status, gender identity, sexual orientation, family status, age, nationality, and education levels to apply. If you are contacted for an interview and require accommodation during the interviewing process, please let us know.

Who we are looking for:
Our core values speak volumes about who we are and how we work:
Humble – Listen to the data
Happy – Tap-dance to work
Gritty – Be persistent, not complacent
Agile – Make small bets, then iterate

So, you might be thinking – what does the team culture look like at Janalta?

Diverse, inclusive team – our team is balanced and employs people from all different backgrounds and ethnicities. The benefit here is everyone has a different view on problems and is able to bring many different ideas to the table.

Shared values – our team is as aligned on values as we are diverse. At our core, that includes gritty, happy, humble, agile.

Flexibility – we like to think we’re tough on goals, thoughtful on process & strategy, and flexible on working around our team member’s needs (e.g. communicating asynchronously, shifting work hours, etc).

Team not a family – though we are a chummy, friendly bunch, we understand that we are a team, not a family. That sometimes leads to hard decisions and clear accountability but that is how we will be better and perform at our best, as a group and individuals.

Ownership – we collaborate closely on goals and have also ensured we have refined processes and support systems in place. Otherwise, each person genuinely “owns” their work and goals and should expect to work autonomously without someone breathing down their neck 🙂

Room for growth – there are opportunities beyond your role to grow within our team at Janalta.

So, however you identify and whatever background and experiences you bring, please apply if this is a role that would make you “tap dance to work” every day. We would love to add your biological uniqueness to our own! 🙂
