People who join Alluvionic are searching for something more than their next salary jump or an escape from a poor work environment.

So, what makes our people different? They're driven by doing something meaningful. They might have made the decision to leave their employer because they didn't fully agree with their mission or because they weren't entrusted with difference-making work in their role, leading to their daily activities feeling insignificant.Alluvionic employees always welcome new challenges. Even though they are almost always scared at first, they know they are completely supported and that their work matters. They never get bored, because they are always learning. Alluvionic is a small yet scaling company. That means we are never short of problems to solve and new, interesting projects to work on. Our people seek to understand the why behind every project and use that to make the right plans and decisions at every step. Our team members take the initiative to figure things out as they go and always make things better for the next person to follow in their footsteps. They're adaptable, comfortable with some ambiguity, and move forward even when they don't have all the information up front. They know that making some progress now is better than perfection a year from now. #J-18808-Ljbffr
