It’s important to understand what our ultimate vision is for the culture - what are we striving for? In order to answer these, we define eight “culture pillars”, which are listed along with simple taglines below in alphabetical order.

Our eight culture pillars are:

*  Autonomy. Set the direction, then get out of the way.
*  Clarity. Measure twice, cut once.
*  Individuality. Don’t be ‘normal.’ Be you.
*  Joint Ambition. Take steps that help us succeed. Everything else is decoration.
*  Personal Growth. The best time and place for feedback is here and now.
*  Positive Impact. Leave anything or anyone better than how you found them.
*  Respect. Your preferences are as real and important as mine.
*  Transparency. Overcommunicate - you don’t know what they’ll gain most from hearing.

But anyone can claim ambitious culture goals. Let's instead talk about what separates someone who will be happy and successful at Modulate from someone who might respect what we're doing but prefer working elsewhere.

• You genuinely believe in the potential for safer online communities across gaming, social, and so many more applications; and no matter how clever your ideas or how great your effort, you understand and agree that our only true metric for success is whether we collectively achieve that mission.
• Given the feedback of “you’re doing great, keep it up,” your reaction is not relief or satisfaction but to eagerly ask "but how can I do even better?"
• You know your job isn’t to “do what your manager tells you”, but rather to work together with them to combine their strategic goals with your boots-on-the-ground knowledge and figure out the truly best work to be doing.
• You recognize that great ideas can come from anywhere, so you go out of your way to bring in new perspectives and keep Modulate’s culture inclusive to everyone.
• You may find meetings or writing documentation to be boring, but you’d never try to cut yourself off from that kind of work - you know transparency and staying aligned with the team is far too important to be a second priority.
• You respect your coworkers enough to tell them the truth - even when the truth is that you don’t think they are meeting the bar - because keeping that information from them means refusing them the chance to fix the problem.
• You are prepared to sometimes follow decisions you don’t fully understand as part of our ability to move fast; but that will never stop you from voicing questions and holding our leadership team accountable to living up to our values.
• Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you’re excited to sign up for a journey together. While each of our roles below includes key skills you should be prepared to demonstrate, Modulate is much more excited to hire someone passionate and ready to learn even if inexperienced, over someone who perfectly meets the bar today but has no interest in their role evolving as we grow.
