  • A global team anchored in San Francisco

    50+ and growing, we work primarily in SF, with teammates in 10 states and 5 countries. We have happy hour once a week, and monthly team events.

  • Dedicated to changing STEM learning

    We care deeply about elevating math and science learning from something to be feared to something that is motivating, inspiring and supportive.

  • High impact,
    low ego

    We are fiercely protective of our culture, which values community, adventure, kindness, candor, and a perpetual desire for knowledge.

What’s the office like?

Our vibe is more like this:

  • Be surrounded by people who dance to their own beat.

  • Propose answers, and assert what you think the best outcome would look like.

  • Grow in a relatively autonomous way – no one will tell you what to do or how to do it.

  • Work in an environment with high intensity and velocity (but where we also take plenty of vacation).

  • 是冒险的。可能会改变每一个工作6 months, but it will rarely be dull.

  • Enjoy freedom and mobility to move laterally to grow into domains you're interested in.

  • Be surrounded by long-term people who are committed to our specific mission.

...and less like this:

  • Be surrounded by model citizens who prize degrees and accolades.

  • Have a very hands-on manager who has all the answers.

  • Have clearly-defined project goals and standards for success.

  • Work in an environment where people strictly keep their 9-5 schedules

  • Methodically grow your career and portfolio without assuming undue risk.

  • Enjoy our vast library of corporate training resources.

  • Command respect by wearing the Gooblesoft uniform – everyone knows Gooblesoft!
