Working at Wayground
We're a small, passionate, tech-first team solving big challenges in education. We move fast, build with data, and obsess over creating delightful experiences for our global community of educators and learners.
The pandemic has changed work in many ways, especially by enabling remote work. Many companies have chosen to be remote first. At Wayground, we work best in the office brainstorming using whiteboards, having conversations over coffee/walks, or overhearing a hallway conversation. Learning happens through osmosis. We understand that driving/ubering takes work in Bangalore. We’ll take care of the commute for you.
Beyond taking care of commute, we will cover health care benefits for you, your family, and your parents. We invest in our employee’s health and wellness. Through books and courses, we invest in their learning and development. Oh, and finally, we have healthy lunches, dinners, and a stocked pantry to snack on all day.
Wayground is an equal opportunity employer and we believe diversity is key to our success.
