TryHackMe isn’t your typical workplace. We’re intense, ambitious, and built for people who thrive on challenges. I want candidates to read this and say either, “TryHackMe isn’t for me” (that’s good; it’s not for everyone) or, “This sounds exactly like the environment I want to operate in.”

TryHackMe is a fully bootstrapped, profitable, scale-up, with over 100 staff from over 31 different timezones. We support ~4 million users, growing by thousands each day and they’re all waiting for us to do more, which is why we need to act with intensity and urgency. Here is what it’s like working at TryHackMe:

Operate with intensity - We have an ethos of immediate action, demanding extreme intensity, and expect everyone to push the boundaries. There is a deep focus on executing at a high pace with urgency. Our intensity isn’t just about speed; it’s about pushing your limits to drive meaningful impact. The faster we deliver new value to our users, the better we help solve their problems before someone else does it better.

Exceptional work requires embracing criticism - Be comfortable accepting and giving constructive feedback, however small. Accept being challenged, not just by your managers but by your peers. We expect excellence, and this is only possible when you’re open to taking feedback onboard, even in a public setting. We’re all on the same side, so hold your peers accountable and to a high standard. Would you rather hear your work is 'good enough,' or push it to be truly exceptional?
