No waiting period
Renkara Media Group is a profitable, founder-owned software company in Keller, Texas. We have been building since 2008, we are funded by our own revenue rather than by investors, and we are hiring a very small number of senior people to do work that would ordinarily take a department.
Because we are funded by operations, we do not have to stage your benefits behind a financing event. Everything below is effective on your first day. There is no 30-, 60-, or 90-day waiting period on anything.
Medical, Dental, and Vision
- Medical
- A national PPO plan and a high-deductible plan with an HSA. The company pays 100% of your premium on the benchmark plan, and 50% of the added premium for a spouse, domestic partner, and children.
- Dental & vision
- Company pays 100% of your premium, 50% for dependents.
- HSA
- On the high-deductible plan, the company contributes $1,200 a year for individual coverage or $2,400 a year for family coverage, deposited each pay period.
- Start date
- Your first day. No waiting period.
If you are already covered on a spouse's plan and waive medical coverage, we pay you a $250 monthly credit instead. Waiving coverage should not quietly become a pay cut.
401(k), Matched From the First Pay Period
- The plan
- Traditional and Roth 401(k) through Guideline, open to you from your first pay period, with the full range of low-cost index options.
- The match
- 4% of eligible pay, from day one — matched dollar for dollar on the first 4% you contribute, and yours immediately. There is no vesting schedule on the match and no service requirement before you qualify.
Most companies our size make you wait a year for this, or two. We are not going to.
Time Off, With a Floor
- Vacation
- Flexible — no accrual, no cap, and a minimum of 15 days a year that you are expected to actually take. If you have not scheduled them by November, your manager is accountable for making sure you do.
- Holidays
- 11 paid company holidays, plus a company-wide closure from December 24 through January 1. The closure is not counted against your flexible time.
- Sick time
- Separate from vacation, and never counted against it.
- Parental leave
- 8 weeks, fully paid, for every new parent — birth or adoption, no distinction between primary and secondary caregiver. Available from your first day.
- Bereavement
- Open-ended. Take the time you need, and we will sort out the rest when you are back.
- Jury duty
- Fully paid, for as long as it takes.
A word on why there is a floor: unlimited time off without one is a well-documented trap. People take less of it, not more. The minimum is the part that makes the policy real.
The Company Buys the Tools
- Claude
- A Claude Max seat, set up before your first day. More seats or API budget whenever you need them, without writing a justification.
- Laptop
- Your choice of configuration up to $4,500, replaced every three years.
- Home office
- $1,500 to set up your workspace, plus $100 a month toward internet and phone.
- Software
- Anything under $100 a month that makes you faster is already approved. Above that, just ask.
We build with AI-assisted workflows, seriously and every day. That is not a perk here, it is how the work gets done — so the company buys the tools rather than asking you to.
Learning, and the Product Itself
- Learning budget
- $2,000 a year for courses, conferences, books, and certifications.
- AccelaStudy® AI
- Free access to our entire catalog — every subject, every vertical — for you and everyone in your household, permanently. Including things we have not released publicly yet.
- Exam fees
- If you sit for a certification in a field we teach, we cover the fee in full, first attempt and one retake.
We would like you using the product. It is the cheapest quality signal we have.
Insurance and Where You Work
- Life insurance
- Basic life and accidental death coverage at one times your base salary, paid for by the company. Supplemental coverage available at group rates.
- Where you work
- Remote-first. We are headquartered in Keller, Texas, and you may work from any US state we are registered in — and if that is not your state yet, we will register in it before you start. That is our cost and our paperwork, not yours. We do not require relocation.
- Getting together
- We bring the team together in person periodically. Travel, lodging, and meals for those are on the company.
What Comes Next
As the company and the team grow, we intend to add:
- Short-term and long-term disability, company-paid
- Life insurance at two times salary
- Parental leave at 16 weeks
- A real mental health benefit, with an actual provider network
- Dependent care and commuter accounts
These are stated as intent, not as a promise, and they are not part of any offer. We would rather list them honestly than imply they already exist.
