Jobs

Take a look at our current job openings, sign up to be notified about future openings, and learn about what it’s like to work here.

Who We Are?

Who we are

An eclectic crew united by intellectual curiosity and a commitment to creating truly great products.

We’re a fully-remote company with no physical headquarters. We’re collectively spread out across dozens of cities on multiple continents. Everyone is free to live and work wherever they choose.

We run the gamut in geography, lifestyle, and interest, but we’re all here to do exceptional work, build wonderfully novel, straightforward products, experiment, pay attention to the details, treat people right, tell the truth, teach, give back, and keep learning.

For 23 years we’ve operated a no-nonsense, profitable business that makes more money than it spends. We’re fully independent, self-funded, and answer to no one but ourselves and our customers. In addition to Basecamp and HEY, we invented the Ruby on Rails programming framework and have written a number of best-selling, influential books.

Who you are

Rock star? Pass. Friendly and thoughtful? Let’s talk.

In broad strokes, Managers of One thrive at 37signals. If you consider yourself an eager learner, a conscientious worker, and a thoughtful, kind, supportive human, you might just have a home here.

We don’t place independent value on where you come from, where you live, where you worked before, where you went to school, if you graduated or dropped out, or how well you did or didn’t do. We care about who you are today, how you’ll be tomorrow, and what you’re able to do now.

What it’s like to work here

A calm, low-distraction environment where you can do your best work.

We work hard to make sure every employee is given the freedom, tools, trust, and support to do the best work of their careers. That’s why so many people who work at 37signals stay at 37signals.

We respect everyone’s right to participate in political expression and activism, but we avoid having political debates on our internal communication systems. 37signals as a company also does not weigh in on politics publicly, outside of topics directly related to our business. You should be at peace with both of these stances.

We value a calm company and deliberate, concerted effort. You’ll have fewer meetings, hardly any email, and far fewer interruptions than you’re used to. 8-hour days and 40-hour weeks are plenty of time to do great work, so that’s all we expect.

It’ll take some getting used to if you’ve been immersed in ASAP culture, but after a while you’ll wonder how you worked any other way.

We work in small, independent teams, typically on a 6 week cycle. Everyone at 37signals participates in Everyone On Support every few months, and twice a year we all get together in Chicago to work and play together. Read our employee handbook for more details on what it’s like to work at 37signals. Make sure you check out the benefits and perks. Spoiler; they’re great.

We look forward to getting to know you. Thanks for checking us out.

Our Work Culture

Our iterative work process helps us to think better, create better. We can achieve faster without trading off quality. We debate, decide then commit. We move fast and stay lean, but act with purpose. We bring intent and insight to every work we do. We know we won't always get it right, but we are not afraid to learn from experiences.

Seems like demanding job descriptions, why?

Why would you do it?

  • Because you need a purpose in your life. Because you want do something that matters!
    • Working a 9-5 job, in a large team, detached by the effects of your efforts sounds awful to you.
  • Because you understand that assuming responsibility is the only way to grow and develop yourself.
    • You don’t grow while you watch sitcoms and chill on your sofa. This is true for both your career and your life.
  • Because you will be a part of an awesome team of diverse top-performing individuals.
    • You understand that an entourage of self-driven people is the best gift for your future.
  • Because you know to never surrender an opportunity for short-term security.
    • You can always get a cozy secure job, but an opportunity to join the revolution of our time is rare.

What we are looking for…

These are the type of jobs where you are pushed in cold water and you have to learn to swim by yourself. Your personality and your traits matter as much as your tech expertise.

  • We are looking for an independent, responsible person.
    • We expect you to be able to carry your own weight and be a reliable partner.
    • Mainly because there is no time for micro-management.
  • We are looking for a fast learner.
    • We may need to use methods or technologies that you never used before. That should not scare, but excite you.
    • In most cases we may not even know what we need and you may have to propose something.
  • We are looking for you to get stuff done.
    • We work in weekly sprints because we believe in consistent delivery over big lengthy releases.
  • We want you to be proactive.
    • We appreciate conviction way more than consensus.
    • Words are nice, opinions are cute… but proactivity in action is golden.
  • We want you to be a good communicator.
    • We work remote and it’s up to you to show your work, explain your ideas or highlight problems.

We are a small team, so…

  • Passion for the problem is our nitro.

    Every day is a struggle, but we keep an eye on the prize. We are passionate about helping people learn and improve themselves and that’s what keeps us going.

  • We find a way or a make a way.

    We focus on difficult problems and need to solve them, for the future of mankind.

  • We thrive in uncertainty, as we have more questions than answers.

    Not problems, but opportunities to learn new things.

Benefits

  • Be an early "workmate".
    • Join our high-growth startup to learn new skills and fast track your career growth.
    • Grow to be a company leader in the future. Get management opportunities and run your own team, even your own project.
  • You can make your own schedule.
    • (As long as things happen on time and on spec.)
  • Remote-first: We don’t care when and where you work from.
  • Potential for stock options package.

Our tech stack

We love open source. If we need a tool, first we make a research, see what's been done in the open source world. Then tailor the existing solutions and create our own tools, methods and technologies.

This sounds hard at first, but it works!

  • It makes the product development a lot easier, faster and efficient.
  • We have full control & awareness on our tools, know how they work and would behave.
  • We contribute to the open source community.

Back-end

  • Node — application, TypeScript
  • MySQL, SQLite — persistence
  • KeyDB — caching

Front-end

  • React
  • JavaScript — Lucid, Luckt, Sage.
  • PWA technology.
    • We want to provide the same experience for everyone. This is the reason we chose to go PWA-only for cross-platform support. We don't want to release mobile apps to stores, because we don't want our product to be controlled by technopolies.

Product Manager

Worldwide • Product

What will you be doing?

You will take charge of the product planning and execution. You will be working closely with the founders to define and express the vision through the products we put out. You will collaborate with UX to craft a kick-ass user experience across mediums and with engineers to ship it. You will measure our success and failures.

You will represent our users and do everything in your power to help them become successful. We are here to help you make them rock-stars

That means…

  • You will build and maintain a prioritized roadmap. You will be transparent throughout the process and collaborate with all stakeholders to build consensus.
  • You will need to make lots of decisions. We expect you to come up with the right point of view, even if that’s unpopular. Your role is to help us build consensus not be ruled by it. We appreciate conviction.
  • You will document each mission. In great detail. Focus on corner-cases. Propose and track success metrics for each of them.
  • You will need to communicate your decisions and plans. You have to be a pillar of clarity, even if you have a ton of questions yourself.
  • You will build and own the creative process of generating, developing, and curating new ideas. These ideas will come from users, from your colleagues and your research and intuition.
  • You will have a process to keep everything in sync so that we maintain a high pace.
  • You will be a steward of quality. Work with devs and QA to make sure we are shipping bug-free beautiful experiences.
  • You will keep an eye on our metrics. Drill through the data. Make sure we are achieving our targets and find insights that could drive innovative initiatives. We practice evidence-based decision-making and we expect to see this from you too.
  • You will research products that could be perceived as competition. You will keep an eye on new shiny solutions to problems we are also struggling with. You will know the trends that could become opportunities for us.

There are probably things that are missing that will show up as we go.

Skills

  • You need to have demonstrated success defining and launching excellent products. You either worked as a product manager in a bigger company or played a generalist role in a startup.
  • You need to recognize good design when you see it. You need to know enough about software development to recognize what developers are talking about. You will be a Jack of all trades.
  • You need to be very well organized. Attention to detail is something that matters a lot here.
  • You need to be familiar with agile product development.
  • Your communication skills, especially in writing, should be top notch. You will be required to document use-cases, interviews etc and to evangelize your work internally and externally.
