đ Weâre a globally distributed team
Our team lives across the world in different locations, but we all work together remotely. We believe in work-life balance and know that living in a place that makes you happy is key to doing your best work.
Hereâs what being globally actually means for the Samsung Food team:
- Work remotely: We’re a remote-first tea spread across the globe from GMT-8 to GMT+9.
- Flexible hours: Youâre able to work from anywhere youâd like in the world – whether that’s a cozy cafe in Barcelona, an AirBnB in Seoul, or a co-working space near your home. If youâre in a time zone outside +/- 6 hours GMT, we may ask you to adjust your hours to ensure smooth collaboration.
- Stay connected: While we work asynchronously, weâre intentional about building relationships and maintaining strong connections. Regular strategy updates, optional social meetings, and an active Slack community help us stay aligned and celebrate together. We bring everyone together annually for a face to face meet-up in a new location. We’ve met up in Seoul, Belgrade, Athens, Lisbon, Florence, and more!

đĽ How we work as a team
As a globally distributed team, communication and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do. Weâve built processes and routines that make it easy for us to connected, aligned, and supportive, no matter where in the world weâre working.
- Our tools: We rely on Slack for internal communication, Google for video calls, Notion for organization and documentation, Figma for design collaboration, and ClickUp to keep projects on track. These tools help us work asynchronously while staying highly effective.
- Our meetings: Regular (but not too regular!) touchpoints keep us on the same page, including department and all-team meetings, 1:1s between managers and team members, and our fortnightly strategy updates and demos. We also host optional social chats to connect on a personal levelâsharing stories, hobbies, or even introducing new family members (pets included!).
- Feedback and growth: We prioritize feedback and growth through regular performance review cycles and engagement surveys. These help us ensure that everyone feels supported, valued, and empowered to do their best work.
