About Astropad
We are a small, bootstrapped startup founded by ex-Apple engineers. Our tools are used by tens of thousands of creative pros, and some of the largest animation studios in the world.
Our team includes interdisciplinary contributors from a variety of cities and backgrounds. Still, we all see something of ourselves in each other. An Astropad team member is kind, honest, a little contrarian, and obsessed with quality.
Remote-first
Since our start, we’ve always been set up as a remote-first company. With teammates across North America, we’ve struck a balance between video calls and asynchronous communication. We encourage team members to unplug from Slack to sink into deep work.
We’ll set you up with the tools and tech you need for your home workspace, along with a coworking stipend for when you want to get out of the house. Twice a year, we all get together for a week-long company retreat.
Wellbeing and rest
We offer health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family. Take the time you need with unlimited sick days and mental health days. All new parents get paid parental leave.
We see deep value in stepping away from work. You’re never expected to work more than 40 hours per week. We have a tiered paid time off structure with up to five weeks of vacation time, plus a one-month paid sabbatical after five years. Every teammate has access to two days off annually to volunteer. We also do a one-week company-wide shutdown over the holiday season.
Competitive pay
We have a competitive, non-location based salary structure — so your pay isn’t dependent on what city you’re in. Every teammate has the opportunity to share in the company’s success with stock option grants and bonuses.
We offer:
- Flexible work schedules
- Competitive pay + equity
- 401k with matching up to 4%
- Coworking space reimbursement stipend
- Health, dental and vision insurance
- 8 weeks paid parental leave for all new parents
- 3 weeks vacation
- Challenging and creative work
- High impact work with significant responsibility
