We want to build our company with colleagues who can grow to be the very best at what they do. And we know that talent isn’t limited to just a few neighborhoods, just a few schools, or just a few companies. That’s why our hiring process is built to find and welcome talented people like you.

We founded our company on a commitment to build a diverse and inclusive culture. That’s why we’ve pioneered a more equitable way to do job offers, published our health insurance plan in full, and pay for referrals of under-represented folks.

It’s also why we all join together in anti-racism, inclusion, and diversity training. It’s important to us that when we hire a wonderful person, they’re able to bring their full selves to work every day.

We believe that the only way our company can be successful is if we build a team that represents our customers - in all their incredible diversity and creativity. You can see us all here.

We’re all owners here. You’ll receive stock options when you join, so you can share in the value that we create together. After spending two years here, you'll be eligible for additional stock grants, to expand your ownership.

Some people feel uncomfortable talking about pay – but you’re making a big decision. You deserve to know what you’re signing up for.

Here’s where we stand today:

• We created a new product in a new market, which has lead to enormous growth.
• We have more than enough cash on hand to reach profitability.
• We see the opportunity to increase our impact and our value tenfold in the coming years.
• Our senior leadership team has successfully founded, grown, and maintained major companies before.
• We believe that working at Glowforge can be the defining event of your professional career. You can help us create a tremendous success that will impact the rest of your life.

And at the same time, we’re still a startup. That means a fast pace, ambitious goals, and a heaping helping of uncertainty. It means putting in long hours because you’re so excited about the opportunities ahead and you don’t want to let your team down. It means your manager reminding you to take your vacation time, because the work is fun and there’s always more around the corner.

It also means that a degree in startup-ology is included with your job here. We want everyone to understand the business that we’re building together, so we’re transparent with information like our sales numbers, our earnings information, and details about how each department operates. You’ll also get weekly lunches that explain everything from EBITDA to laser physics to design software.

We’re telling you all of this because choosing to work for a small company instead of a megacorp means choosing opportunity, meaning, and impact on the world over predictability and a nine-to-five job. It’s a big decision.

But if you’re like us - it’s the right one.
