**About Us**
Office Hours is a new knowledge-sharing platform that helps professionals get paid to share their expertise. Launched in May, Office Hours is already seeing traction and works with a diverse range of customers. Things are going very well and we have a lot to build! While the first generation of online marketplaces have unlocked massive value of fixed assets (e.g. cars, homes), we are still in the early stages of unlocking the most valuable and underutilized asset, human knowledge.

Our team is headquartered in San Francisco and backed by investors including the founder of Thumbtack, former Head of Product at Pinterest and early Airbnb employees.

Our engineering is based in Kyiv. Currently it is just our Head of Engineering and 1 more engineer. We plan to hire 1-2 more in 2020. In the US we have 2 other teammates, with 3 more starting in September.

* **Work with top talent:** We are committed to hiring only the brightest and training them to reach their potential.
* **Flexible hours:** We are a distributed team with flexibility around working hours and location.
