Brooklyn · reported office
20 Jay Street, Suite 620, Brooklyn, NY 11201. Current occupancy not confirmed. Brooklyn physical office is reported on company employment profile and multiple hiring mirrors; company's federal submissions give 20 Jay Street Suite 620 correspondence address. Primary careers portal is live but offered no readable content through research tool. The street-to-current-occupied-office link remains reported, not independently verified. Remote-first company; do not treat NYC HQ label as all employees onsite. Neighborhood omitted rather than inferred from ZIP.
