Set of X is everyone’s company. Composed of diverse members – race, sex, age, disability, religion. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I feel supported and valued by everyone within the company, especially the founders. I feel comfortable bringing my true, authentic self to work every day.

ownership +flexibility

Our pay is competitive and our benefits can match or beat the best of what’s out there. But beyond those benefits, when you join Set of X you join us as an owner in the company: we grant shares on your hire date and each year after.

So as the company grows, hires, and wins contracts, everyone benefits because everyone has been given a share of the company from the beginning, because we only hire owners.

And, by the way, if you want to join a fitness club or stream your favorite series–go ahead. We’ll pay for that too.

Imagine working with and for friends you can trust, who always have your back. Someone you can count on to make business decisions big and small with your best interest in mind. People who are leaders in their fields and who have stellar reputations in this industry.

Ownership is not just another buzzword, it is a reality with Set of X. We are all in this together – the work, the play, the benefits, and the organization.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of our team has to say:

Flexible benefits are one of the defining reasons I came to Set of X. My husband and I work in the same industry and the benefits are pretty standard company to company. Not needing to pay for something that I might have covered elsewhere is a sign the company understands individuals are important and have varying needs.

One of the more unique benefits offered is the ownership. Being a part owner leads me to feel more involved in the company and leads me to want to participate more in the company growth and image.

– Mary Maier

we build essential solutions with good people.

We put key talent in critical places and we do it with a strong sense of responsibility to the mission and a shared sense of belonging.
