What We Require

Life at Ethyca We want every Ethycan to achieve their best outcomes, that’s why we celebrate individuals’ strengths, skills, and interests, from your first interview to your long term growth, rather than rely on traditional career ladders. Ethyca is a distributed team with headquarters in NYC and remote workers across the US. In keeping consistent with Ethyca's values and culture, we believe employees “share the work” as one team, and in-person work affords the opportunity for more creative outcomes. Therefore we encourage Deployment Strategists to work from our offices to foster excellence in innovation and outcomes for our clients. Preference will be given to candidates who are able to come into the office, located in midtown Manhattan, at least 2 days a week.
We’re a Data Privacy and AI Governance company building a missing piece of the Internet’s infrastructure: the operating system for governance that empowers users and businesses to manage data respectfully. Every day, Ethycans tackle one of the world's most challenging problems - how to make data and AI driven technology safer for humanity - and thinking about the future of human rights as society increasingly moves online. If this sounds intriguing and you’re excited to shape that future with us, we’d want to speak with you.
Ethyca is committed to promoting a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion and is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer. We believe that all Ethycans share the responsibility of upholding our commitment to these values and encourage candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences to join us in solving the world’s hardest problems.
