Our Values:
Hardest work, best work.

A challenge is motivating, even when it's a little scary. Working through hard challenges is what makes us grow.
Speed over perfection.

We move fast and have a bias for action. We're quick to spot issues, pivot without hesitation, and move quickly to drive forward. We tolerate the occasional mistake in exchange for speed.
Face challenge head on.

We're not afraid of hard conversations and we face challenges head on.

We say the things that feel uncomfortable to say to address the issue and get to the other side of the problem.

We do so with positive intent and an open mind.
Humble in abundance, optimistic in adversity.

In good times, we remind ourselves (and each other) that we're never done learning, growing, and improving.

In hard times, we force ourselves (and each other) to keep the long-term vision in mind: failure is a timeline issue: with iteration and effort, you can always find a way to success.

Diverse perspective, unified success.

We seek out diversity because diverse teams are the most successful teams. We have a high tolerance for working alongside others who come with different perspectives, backgrounds, and areas of expertise. We approach every interaction with team members as an opportunity to see something in a different light.
High Alpha is an equal opportunity employer, and we value diversity at our company.

We don't discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
