So, you’re thinking about applying to Villvay. Or maybe you’ve already started the process? Either way—hi! We’re really glad you’re here.

We know the job search process can sometimes feel like you’re throwing your resume into the void and hoping for the best, but we want you to know that on the other side of that ‘apply’ button is a team that goes through each application, excited to learn more about what drives you and how you can contribute to our team as our newest VVayfinder (Villvay employee).

This guide exists to demystify Villvay’s hiring process and give you a sense of what we look for in the people we work with.

What We Look for in the People We Hire

There are a few things we've consistently noted in those who thrive at Villvay, and these go beyond experience and skill. They reflecthowandwhyyou work and the energy you bring into the team.

A Progressive Mindset

We’re a company that’s constantly evolving. The B2B eCommerce world (and for that matter, the tech industry as a whole) doesn't stand still, and neither do we. That’s why we look for people who don’t just “do the job”, but who look beyond the checklist.

Whether you’ve proactively suggested process improvements or taken the lead in learning a new tool, we love seeing signs that you’re thinking forward—not just following instructions.

Hunger for Learning

Degrees and experience are great—but what really stands out is curiosity. Are you someone who picks up a new skill just because it intrigues you? Do you reflect on what worked and what didn’t after a project wraps?

We’re staunch advocates of lifelong learning, so people who ask questions, seek feedback, and grow from experience will always thrive here.

Passion for Craft

We admire people who care deeply about the quality of their work:

Proactively staying up to date on industry trends
Those who notice the small details
And the ones that always ask, “How can I make this better?”

Whether it’s refining user experience, writing clean and thoughtful code, shaping a process that actually works, or designing with empathy—your care shows in the quality of what you deliver.

Authenticity

You don’t have to have all the answers—we don’t expect polished perfection. What we value is honesty, self-awareness, and a genuine voice.

When you share your story—your wins and your mistakes—we get to know the real you. And we believe teams function best when everyone can show up as their whole selves.

A Team-First Mentality

We believe the best work happens through collaboration.

And we love teammates who communicate openly, support others, share credit, and help turn individual wins into team success!

A Sense of Purpose

At Villvay, we’re driven by more than deadlines and deliverables. We want our work to mean something—to our clients, to each other, and to ourselves.

Regardless of whether it’s building a better user experience or solving problems that actually help people, we love when someone’s why shows up in their what.

Traits That Take Things to the Next Level

Beyond the foundation we talked about above, here are a few other qualities that could make a candidate stand out:

Creative Problem Solving

We value people who think differently and challenge the norm (with kindness!). If you’re someone who asks the big questions, thinks laterally, and explores new angles, you’ll thrive here. Fresh ideas and diverse perspectives help us build better solutions every day.

Ownership, Execution & Follow-through

Great ideas are just the beginning. We admire people who take initiative, follow through, and get things past the finish line—especially when the path isn’t perfectly laid out. Taking ownership of your work and driving projects to completion is a fast way to get noticed (in the good way!).

People Smarts

You don’t need to be outgoing to stand out. Being able to read the room, navigate tricky conversations, and build strong working relationships matters.

Emotional intelligence is an often-overlooked superpower, but we value it just as much as technical skills.

Agility and Adaptability

You may not know everything on day one (and we don’t expect you to), but if you have the mindset to learn, adapt, and improve quickly, you’ll do just fine here.

You, Outside of Work

What you enjoy beyond work often adds richness to how you think and collaborate, so whether you're a writer, gamer, hiker, or curious about art theory, we love hearing what lights you up outside the 9–5.

A Sense of Humor (a bonus, but a good one)

We are serious about our craft—but not about ourselves. A clever meme reference, a well-timed pun, or just good vibes on a tough day? That’s what makes groups of people feel like teams.

How We Think About Culture Fit (and Culture Add)

Culture fit at Villvay means shared values. But a culture add? That’s about new perspectives, different backgrounds, and unique ways of thinking. We look for both. We look for voices that help us grow, not just echo what's already here. We believe that diverse thinking challenges, making us sharper, kinder, more innovative, and more human.

So when we say we want you to be yourself, we mean it. We’re not looking for someone to fit a mold—we’re looking for what only you can bring.

Whether you’ve already applied or are just exploring, we hope this gave you a clearer picture of what we value and how we hire.

And if you're reading this and thinking, "Well, that sounds like me," then we can’t wait to meet you! 🤝🏻
