Compensation
Public job posts show London roles at roughly £75K-£110K GBP and £95K-£130K GBP, with some roles restricted to 'US citizen/visa only.' Partner-network postings also mention revenue-share economics (up to 30%) for implementation partners, but broader employee benefits are not public.
Product & market
Pricing
Usage-based platform pricing with SMB self-serve tiers (about $25-$1k/month) and separate enterprise/partner-led implementations; the company argues against fixed outcome-based pricing and vendor lock-in.
