At Lime Technology, we always put our people and their families first. This isn’t simply reflected in the words that make up our values—it’s infused in where we invest our money, how we set out to accomplish our goals, and our generous compensation and benefits packages.

We ensure that our employees are well cared for—financially, mentally, and emotionally. We require taking time off and prioritizing your health and your family’s needs over work. Our goal is to give our staff as much autonomy and freedom as possible.
