Equal opportunity statement
A fair workplace is an operational requirement.
Wavestar Holdings LLC is an equal-opportunity employer. This statement describes the commitments we make to applicants, employees, contractors, and interns. It is not aspirational — it is the standard we hold ourselves to and the basis on which we invite reports when we fall short.

Principles
What we commit to
Written in plain language and published publicly so that the standard is the same for every applicant, employee, and partner.
- 01
Protected characteristics
Wavestar does not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, ancestry, national origin, religion, creed, age, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital or familial status, pregnancy, medical condition, genetic information, disability, veteran status, citizenship status, or any other characteristic protected under federal, state, or local law. - 02
Hiring and promotion
Every hiring decision and every promotion decision is made on the basis of role-relevant merit. Interview panels are diverse by default. Pay bands are published internally, audited annually, and corrected when disparities appear. - 03
Accessibility and accommodations
We provide reasonable accommodations for applicants and employees with disabilities across every stage of the employment lifecycle. Accommodation requests are handled confidentially by HR and do not factor into hiring decisions. - 04
Zero tolerance for harassment
Harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and hostile-work-environment conduct are prohibited. Reports are investigated promptly and confidentially. Retaliation against a good-faith reporter is itself grounds for termination.
Reporting and enforcement
If something goes wrong
- 01
How to report
Email hr@wavestar.space, or contact any executive directly. Anonymous third-party reporting is also available through our Ethics Line. We treat every report seriously, confidentially, and promptly. - 02
What happens next
Acknowledgement within one business day. Internal investigation led by HR or external counsel as needed. Findings and any corrective action communicated to the reporter. No retaliation against good-faith reporters. - 03
Accommodations requests
Applicants may request accommodations at any interview stage without impact on the hiring decision. Employees may request accommodations at any time. HR handles the interactive process confidentially. - 04
Appeals
If you disagree with an outcome, you may request review by external employment counsel. We retain independent counsel for this purpose, not company counsel, so that the review is genuinely independent.
Jurisdiction-specific
What applies where you are
- 01

United Kingdom

A note on culture
Why a legal statement is not enough
A policy is a floor, not a ceiling. A fair workplace is built every day by the way people talk to one another in code review, in standups, in hiring decisions, and in disagreements. We publish the policy so that the floor is unambiguous. We hold ourselves to a higher standard because it is the right way to operate and because our work is too important to waste on avoidable friction.
Questions about this policy
HR answers directly.
If you have a question about this statement, an accommodation request, or a report to make — HR answers every email directly and confidentially. We do not route through a shared inbox or outsourced vendor.
