Perks
We want you to get a good idea of what working with us looks like, so we’ve listed some of the things we love about working at SpinupWP.
Remote First
We have always been a remote company, since the very start. Working from home has its challenges, but you’ll be surrounded by compassionate folks who have been successfully working from home for many years.
Location Independent
Work from wherever you’re happiest. All members of our team currently work from their homes in Canada, the UK, the US, Mexico, and India.
Side Projects Encouraged (but not expected)
Some companies discourage or disallow commercial side projects. Not us! In fact, we encourage this so long as it doesn’t interfere with SpinupWP.
Choose Your Schedule
Most companies claim to have flexible hours, but the reality is often very different. We flex our hours for real 💪. As long as on average you’re working the number of hours you’ve committed to working each week, we’re good.
Company Retreats
As a remote company, it’s super important to get some face time. We work to bridge that gap with regular video meetings, but nothing compares to that in-person quality time. In 2022, we met up in San Diego as a sponsor for WordCamp US, and are excited to travel to future WordCamps together now that the world is reopening.
Personal Growth
If there’s a conference or event that will help you level up, the company will cover your expenses. You’re also allotted some time each month to learn something new unrelated to your job, participate in community discussions, and/or contribute to an open source project.
Contribute to Open Source
At SpinupWP, contributing to open source is encouraged. As a team we maintain some open source packages of our own and sometimes contribute to other projects as well.
Profit Sharing
Once you’ve been with the team for a year or more, you’ll be eligible for profit sharing. Brad, SpinupWP CEO & Founder, presents a Profit & Loss report on a quarterly basis, so everyone knows how the company is doing. And when the company does well, the team does well.
Company Holidays
Things get pretty quiet in late December / early January, so we always treat ourselves to a couple of weeks off to reboot during this time.
Paid Leave
For the birth or adoption of a child, the company offers 8 weeks of 100% paid leave for primary caregivers and 3 weeks for secondary caregivers. We also offer 5 paid sick days and 3 days of paid bereavement leave.
Health Insurance
Members of the team based in Canada are eligible for health/dental/life/disability insurance through the company’s Chambers of Commerce plan while those outside of Canada are eligible for a stipend to partially cover insurance costs.
Competitive Salaries
We pay salaries that are competitive with the market in which you reside.There are situations that call for higher pay even when living in a region with a lower cost of living, so we're flexible on this.
