The Team
Built by people who have shipped.
Our team is senior, distributed, and founder-led. Everyone you work with has built real products — not demos.

LinkedInHow we work
No layers. No PM filter.
When you work with Galaxen, you're in the same Slack channel as the engineer building your product. No account manager forwarding messages. No ticket queue between your question and an answer.
Each project has one named lead from our team — a senior engineer or product manager who owns the outcome from kickoff to handover. You'll know their name before we sign the contract.
Want to join the team?
We're hiring senior engineers, designers, and product people who want real ownership and fast learning.
