The Seed Culture 

All Seed employees are guided by the following characteristics and core principles: 

• Independence - an ability to work alone. There is no micromanaging here. Join Seed, pitch ideas and shape the work you do. You will be given responsibility from day one. 
• Vision - an ability to see the broader picture. We are innovating quickly and challenging the status quo. Seeing where we fit in is critical in making it a reality. 
• Positivity - a good attitude and respect for others. We’re teammates, not co-workers. 
• Ambition - an ability and a passion for learning and getting things done. We will champion you, challenge you, and push you to achieve your best – and we expect the same in return. 
• Empathy - an ability to understand the customer. We do not build products for industry, but with industry. Learn our markets and speak to our end-users. 
• Adaptability - an ability to respond quickly. We are in a fast-paced industry and so we expect you to be creative when solving a new problem and comfortable under pressure.
