Work & culture

Remote-first, small, open-source, and developer-centric. Public posts and hiring materials emphasize clean code, practical problem solving, community engagement on Discord, humor/memes, and a conversational hiring style rather than algorithm tests.

Work style

Remote

Compensation

No official company-wide salary bands were found publicly. A 2026 third-party remote Operations posting listed roughly $93K-$114K/year, but Wasp does not appear to publish a formal compensation policy.

Benefits

remote-first work
small-team autonomy
open-source contribution culture
Discord-first community support
no algorithmic interview-style hiring
