People First

Nylas is a BIG advocate for the well-being of its employees, which is why we have embraced a People First philosophy.

It’s about giving more autonomy and flexibility to our employees.

It’s not about when, where or how the work is accomplished; it’s about adopting a mindset of velocity and trust when tackling the work.

It’s about respecting individual working styles, disabilities, and personal schedules, but also ensuring everyone has a better work-life balance.

The outcomes will always be more important than the physical location.

Nylanauts have the ability to decide the best workspace or environment that will result in more ideas, engagement, creativity, focus, collaboration, and productivity.

Why?

Because we want our employees to be great; because we are focussed on being a high-performing team.

To achieve this mission, we remove barriers and offer more autonomy.

So, Nylanauts are encouraged to find those environments that inspire them to be great.

This means Nylanauts can work from the slopes of Montana or from the beaches of Italy.

And if Nylanauts want to work from an office in one of our hubs (San Francisco, Denver, New York City, Toronto, and London), they can!

The workspace is there to be utilized.

So, if you’re looking to join a fast-growing company with a beloved, daily-use product, and an authentic mission that puts people first, we want to meet you.
