Chief of Staff

About elvex

We are a small, fully-remote, well-funded, and experienced team. We previously built, launched, scaled and exited Parse.ly, a digital analytics platform, that processed >1B events/day for 100s of customers. We sold Parse.ly to Automattic (the maintainers of WordPress) which was their largest acquisition in terms of both revenue and cost.

Why elvex?

• Salary, Benefits and Equity: Competitive
• True remote culture: Our company is 100% remote and we’re a founding team that embraced remote work for 10 years pre-pandemic. We don’t even have an office to be nudging you back into a year from now.
• Bring your own device: Use the tools that make you the most productive and use our equipment budget to upgrade where needed.
• Equipment budget: $2k USD upon starting for you to use as you wish. Buy a new computer, a standing desk, a monitor, a treadmill, etc.
• Vacation: Unlimited (we just ask that you provide us more heads up the longer the time off you plan to take).
• Personal and professional growth: In our previous company, most employees worked together for 5+ years. That’s an unheard of tenure in tech, but its because all of us care deeply about pushing each other to do our best and giving space to learn. That may mean using an experimental technology, giving a conference talk, or exploring management. Whatever your goals, we want elvex to be a career-defining place for you.
• Work-life Balance: The elvex founding team all have families. We all work hard, but we understand not just the need for down time, but its benefits.
