Our Culture
At NEAR, we're not just a team—we're a group of curious, creative, and driven individuals who are constantly learning, growing, and supporting each other.
-
We embrace learning through challenges.
We see failure as part of the journey and success as something worth celebrating. We push boundaries, embrace feedback, and recognize great work.
-
Trust is everything
We work remotely—and that works because we trust each other. Everyone at NEAR is empowered to take ownership and deliver their best, knowing they have a team behind them.
-
Growth means getting uncomfortable & going outside the comfort zone
We challenge ourselves and each other to level up. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it—and no one does it alone.
-
We’re people-first. Always.
We care about our team as humans, not just professionals. The lessons we learn here go beyond the workplace—they shape how we show up in life.
-
Clear, honest communication matters.
We value transparency, emotional intelligence, and the courage to speak up. Need help? Say so. Unsure? Ask. Struggling? Let’s talk.
-
We build as we grow.
We’re process-driven, but not rigid. We’re always evolving—and we welcome ideas that make us better. Everyone has a voice here.
-
Work-life balance matters
We believe in doing great work without burning out. We support boundaries, encourage breaks, and promote sustainable success.
-
Independence is valued
We don’t wait for permission—we try, we test, we figure things out. Independence is part of the DNA here, and growth follows action.
