About Builder.io:
Builder.io is pioneering the space between design and development, creating a new category of Visual Development Platform that transforms how teams build digital products.
Our Visual Copilot technology bridges the gap between Figma designs and production code, enabling teams to build interactive features using natural language while working with their actual code, data, and APIs. Alongside our code generation capabilities, our CMS empowers organizations to skip code generation altogether and publish updates to any live site or app in a couple clicks.
Trusted by leading mid-market to enterprise-level companies like JCrew, Vimeo, and Anheuser Busch, we're focused on eliminating the traditional bottlenecks between design, development, and content management.
Builder.io is committed to growing an inclusive and diverse team. We are an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, veteran, genetic information, marital status or any other legally protected status.
Our mission is to visualize real software, so that anyone, from any team, with any skill set, can be part of the building process. We deliver this by pioneering a “plug and play” approach to visual development, empowering teams to collaborate and drive accelerated growth
We are (mostly) headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, but have team members distributed across the world and are committed to operating digital-first. Join us.
