Our values
Hardfin was founded on four core values: integrity, communication, feedback, and ownership. We take these values seriously and strive to live them every day—with our customers, with each other, and with ourselves.
Our mission and vision
Hardfin's mission, vision, and strategic narrative are big and bold. We achieve such grand goals in small steps every day. Speed and iteration are key to our success.
Our culture
We spend time apart as a distributed team and time together on frequent company offsites. From learning sessions and whiteboarding to dinners and bowling, our team enjoys each other's company.
Open roles are on our job board. We also hire excellent people opportunistically. If you are interested in what we're doing, reach out at careers@hardfin.com.
