Support as a Service

Esper’s identity as a dynamic and innovative company is reflected in Jackie Tribble’s duties as office operations lead. She supports her colleagues through the physical work environment, reshuffling office space to accommodate shifts in teams and leadership. But she also feels supported in kind. Though Tribble is the main event planner, the operations team has her back on larger events like the holiday party and company picnic, pitching in to help throughout. On a wider scale, the leadership offers channels for employees to shape company culture, including offsites and monthly events.

Engineering Manager Varun Chitre recalls his penultimate year at college, when Esper co-founder Shiv Sundar pitched him the idea for the company. Chitre went on to become one of Esper’s foundational technicians, and also helped build out its culture. As a leader, he values flexibility and autonomy in his team’s work on Foundation, its Android-based operating system for dedicated devices. Outside of work, he enjoys different expressions of the company’s team-building, including EsperX, the multi-day event celebrating employee achievements, and Esper Hackday, a day dedicated to individual ideas.
