• Seek out ways to empower our team.
• Regularly communicate project status to stakeholders.
• Schedule and monitor regular test runs with our external QA team.

• A love of adaptive Agile-style production methods.
• Exceptional problem-solving and process-improving abilities.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Lumos Labs offers a wide range of competitive benefits for all of our full-time employees:
• The excitement and fun of an early-stage startup paired with the maturity and stability of a later-stage business with substantial revenue and company infrastructure.
• A remote-first culture, building a team that spans the Eastern-to-Pacific U.S. time zones.
• Competitive compensation packages, including salary and benefits on-par with later-stage companies, and equity options on-par with earlier-stage ones.
• Flexible time off throughout the year to rest, reset, and recharge, and an end-of-year holiday break.
• Generous company-sponsored medical, dental, and vision plans (options for individual, spouse and/or domestic partner, and family coverage).
