Around the world, building the internets operating systemand a better way towork.
In a world of tech companies fighting for growth at any cost, imagine one that gives away its most successful product for freeand has been doing it for 20years.
Whereas an increasing number of tech firms spend their energy locking customers into closed, ever-worsening platforms designed to extract value at any cost (including the customers right to privacy), picture yourself working at a company that prioritizes and protects our customers freedom to use all the tools of the open web. Including those we dont makeourselves.
With a founding product so successful, schoolchildren know it by name. A product so ubiquitous, it powers over 40% of all websites. And thats just one of the things wemake.
Welcome to Automattic.
Were the people behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, Simplenote, Jetpack, Longreads, Day One, Pocket Casts, and more. We believe in making the web a better place, and strive to live by the Automattic Creed. There are 1,435 of us Automatticians in nearly every corner of the globe, speaking 108 different languages.
Enriched by this diversity, were united by a singular mission: to democratize publishing, commerce, and messaging so anyone with a story can tell it, anyone with a product can sell it, and everyone can manage their communications from a single source. In short, we help maintain a balance in society, creating and continually refining powerful tools people can use to compete fairlyregardless of income, gender, politics, language, or where in the world they live.
Speaking of which, where in the world would you like towork?
A better way to work.
In a time when companies are demanding employees return to the office or lose their jobs, weve been a remote-first company since our founding in 2005.Meaning we dont force Automatticians to work in the same building and smell each others sandwiches at lunchtime, and we dont tell them whereorwhen to work. Thats the virtue of our asynchronous, fully distributed ecosystem.
We value impact, not how much time you put in. Effectiveness over busyness. Quality, not quantity. We firmly believe that work can and should be fun, while also being challenging and providing essential services. That workers should be trusted by giving them autonomy over the choices they make and the projects they take on. And that makers deserve to see real-world results of their efforts.
We believe in Open Source, and the vast majority of our work is available under the GPL. And weve proven you can build an open-source-driven businessearning half a billion $US in annual revenue!while providing top shelf, future-friendly services that help our customers build their own businesses, tell their own stories, and manage their work and familylives.
If youre independent, creative, skilled, smart, and looking to do the most meaningful work of your career, on your own turf and your own terms, and with a high-impact footprint improving the lives of millions of people worldwide, youll love working here . . . and wed love to hear from you.
Distributed doesnt need to mean remote.
Sometimes you want to turn Slack handles into face-to-face conversations. Our NoHo, NYC and Mission, SF spaces mean that wherever you usually work from, theres a place you can drop by to collaborate, learn, connect, or just spend some time with Automatticians and friends.
Automattic is a Most Loved Company and Disability Confident Committed. (Heres what that might mean for you.) Learn more about our dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion and our Employee ResourceGroups.
