Natalie Tsay, Sr. PR Specialist & Copywriter
“I joined Niche during the COVID-19 pandemic. I’d heard so much praise about the company culture while I was interviewing, and I was afraid that would be lost with remote work. It turns out I didn’t have to worry! Every day I feel not only included, but deeply valued and supported by the team, even through screens. I’m really proud to be part of such a friendly and talented group of people!”
Austin Orth, Manager of Site Reliability Engineering
“My coworkers are incredibly smart and kind, the tech is cutting edge, and after over three years on the team, I’m still just so excited about what we’re doing here!”
