Automattic

We’re the people behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, Simplenote, Jetpack, Longreads, Day One, PocketCasts, and more. We believe in making the web a better place.

We’re a distributed company with more than 1700 Automatticians in nearly every corner of the globe, speaking over a hundred different languages. Enriched by this diversity, we’re 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 fairly — regardless of income, gender, politics, language, or where they live in the world.

We believe in Open Source, and the vast majority of our work is available under the GPL. Automattic is a Most Loved Company and Disability Confident Committed. (Here’s what that might mean for you.)

We’re always looking for talented engineers worldwide, excited to help Automattic’s product ecosystem, and join our mission to make the web a better place.  What have we worked on recently? Gutenberg  is a new block-level editor with clean abstractions for users, too, not just developers. Jetpack  is a plugin that brings cloud-scale features to self-hosted sites and our latest addition is  Rewind ,...
