The following policy applies to U.S. employees and all full-time contractors.
Salary
Fair compensation is critical to making Tidepool a desirable place to work and helping our employees lead happy, healthy lives inside and outside of the office. When used as a motivational tool, though, it can incentivize the wrong kind of optimizations. Our goal with salary is that it checks the box of "enough" for folks excited about working at Tidepool (because of our mission, people, and products) and then fades into the background.
As a nonnonprofit start-profit, and as a startup trying up, our goal is to be fiscally responsible and to extend our financial operating runway as long as possible , we ask people to let us know what the lowest salary that they feel is fair compensation for their workuntil we have enough revenue to be self-sustaining.
Your compensation reflects what you do for Tidepool. Your compensation is not based on your geographical location. This will tend to benefit people who live in lower-cost-of-living areas and may be a challenge for people who live in higher-cost-of-living areas like the SF Bay Area or New York City.
Our current As of October 2023, our target is to pay people at the 40th percentile of base salary when compared to similar jobs around roles at technology companies across the US. For 2023As a source of comparison data, we are using use the Aon Radford Global Technology Survey as the comparison basis (data release - July 15, 2023) for North America, which provides us with compensation data for over 2000 technology companies.
Tidepool re-evaluates compensation annually based on updated Radford data sets. Our ability to use updated data sets is dependent on our current and future financial situation.
