Work Your Way:

At Spreetail, we believe in empowering our employees to work in the way that suits them best through our Work Your Way approach. Each team member has the flexibility to choose where they work most effectively each week—whether that's from home, a coffee shop, or the office. While flexibility is key, we also value the power of in-person connection. That’s why we bring our corporate team together in Lincoln each quarter for a week of intentional collaboration, team building, community engagement, and our All-Hands meeting. It’s the best of both worlds: the freedom to work your way, with meaningful opportunities to connect and grow together. Please scroll to the bottom of the job posting to confirm that your state qualifies for the Work Your Way program.

• Relationship Building: Collaborate closely with Product, Data Management, and Engineering peers. Influence through clarity, humility, and technical credibility. Be known for your reliability and follow-through.
• Engineering Standards: Champion high standards in data modeling, pipeline testing, observability, and code quality.
