At Doist, our mission is to empower people with simple yet powerful tools.

We're a multidisciplinary, fully-remote, team that's passionate about creating products, like Todoist and Twist, that improve people's lives. We thrive on innovating new solutions to old productivity challenges and we seek to rethink how productivity tools are made.

Our Core ValuesThey are few, but they are mighty. From creating processes to decision-making and recruiting, we build our four core values into nearly every single thing we do.
\

Ambition. You aspire to put a dent in the universe. You set high standards for yourself and those around you. You solve issues that have a high impact on our customers and our company
Mastery. You care deeply about the quality of your work. You're continuously learning and pushing yourself to the limits of your ability. As a champion of your craft, you are also a champion of your well-being - you work intensely, then disconnect completely
Independence. Others can trust that you'll deliver on time. You keep your word and trust your teammates to do the same. You are proactive, take ownership, and remain accountable with little or no direction
Communication. Your communication is clear, concise, and engaging. You keep others in the loop and never go radio silent. You speak respectfully and foster warm relationships through your interactions. You're culturally and socially aware and can appropriately navigate social situations
