Perks

SerpApi has been created by engineers for engineers. High compensation, transparency, remote-first, and a high trust environment are at the core of the company.

All of these also make a very neurodivergent-friendly work environment. Several of our team members, including our CEO, are on the spectrum. Having a neurodivergent-friendly company is not an afterthought.

We welcome talent from all over the world! No matter where you’re based, you can be part of our diverse, remote-first team. For those outside Austin, TX, we typically hire as independent contractors since we don't have an office there.

High Compensation

Competitive Worldwide: Total compensation, including profit shares, averages $232,448 per year per team member worldwide. We pay nearly as much as Google!

Profit Shares: All full-time team members receive profit share bonuses. We believe it's important to achieve alignment as a team.

Career Growth: Internal career paths, training (courses, conferences, books), and toolings (up to 50% reimbursement for software, hardware, subscriptions, and co-working space).

Transparency

A transparent world is a better world. Transparent organizations are more meaningful, connected to reality, and trustworthy.

Open Books: We share our books with all team members. We publish quarterly and annual reports (P&L, expenses).

Public Roadmap: Excluding security and confidential issues, all of our work is fully accessible to the public.

Internal Trust: Internally, we share analytics, customer interactions, hiring processes, strategies, marketing, and all other business-related data.

Remote-First Company

Remote is not a 2nd thought, but is core to SerpApi. All our processes are structured around being remote-first.

Even Before COVID: Remote-first wasn't a reaction to COVID, but was a conscious, long-term, and permanent decision.

Async Communications: All of our important communications are async, written, and online. We avoid unnecessary meetings as much as possible.

100% Online: We use the best tools for the job: GitHub, Slack, Pop, Zoom, Intercom, Figma, and emails.

High-Trust Environment

We put high-trust in everyone on our team and empower them to do their best work.

Flexible Schedule: Team members can adjust their own schedule, timezone, and unpaid vacation time the way they see fit.

Independent Prioritization: Outside of specifically assigned tasks, you can choose what work you think will produce the most value to SerpApi.

Trusted Contributions: All team members can suggest or directly make changes to anything related or not related to their jobs following their own judgment.
