Careers at Ratio

About Us

Ratio is a technology consulting company that specializes in helping government agencies and healthcare organizations solve messy data integration challenges.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we've worked in partnership with leading NGOs and public health agencies to build and manage open-source software. Our work has improved the efficiency of public health interventions like contact tracing and case investigation for state and local health departments.

Our typical work schedule is 4-day, 32-hour weeks. While we occasionally stretch outside of that schedule to respond to production incidents or prepare for a product launch, it's important to us to build a resilient organization that works at a sustainable pace (and we encourage you to ask our team about their experience with this in your interview).

We work with organizations ranging from seed-stage digital health startups through state and local public health agencies. We continue to pursue opportunities to help government and healthcare organizations fulfill their important, service-oriented missions, and we're looking for new folks to join us!

Work Time & Location Expectations

• Our typical work week is 32 hours over 4 days (Monday - Thursday). We occasionally work outside of this window to respond to production incidents, and we trust you to manage your own schedule, but this is the general expectation of what "full-time" means to us.
• We are a remote-first company with a nexus in Portland, OR. You are welcome to work from anywhere in the continental US.
• We offer a flexible vacation policy of 4 weeks paid leave. This means there is no maximum or minimum amount of time that employees may take each year, but four weeks is a good starting point.
• We offer 9 days of paid sick leave per year.
• We take 10 paid company holidays per year:
  • New Years Day
  • Martin Luther King Day
  • Presidents’ Day
  • Memorial Day
  • Juneteenth National Independence Day
  • Independence Day
  • Labor Day
  • Indigenous Peoples' Day
  • Thanksgiving Day
  • Christmas Day

Equity Expectations

• Full-time positions will come with a grant of 0.5% - 0.75% options in Ratio PBC on a standard 4 year vesting schedule with a 1 year cliff.
• We're a profitable professional services company, not a venture-backed startup, so expectations of equity payout and risk are quite different from the more traditional model. That said, it's important to us that every employee has the opportunity to be an owner, which is why we invest in an employee stock option program.

Health/Financial Benefits

• We offer several options for health, dental and vision benefit plans and cover 100% of a benchmark HDHP plan for employees, spouses / domestic partners, and dependents.
• We offer a company-sponsored 401(k) plan with automatic 3% company contribution.

Notes

• Due to our clients' security policies, we are restricted to hiring employees based in the United States. You will be required to be located in the United States to perform core functions of this job (i.e., accessing production data).
• We require a background check and may require a drug screening, if mandated by a client.
