Automattic

Founded in 2005, we build and support a portfolio of products, including WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Jetpack, Tumblr, WordPress VIP, Simplenote, Day One, Longreads, Crowdsignal, Atavist, Beeper, Akismet, and Gravatar.

Our goal is to make publishing, commerce, and messaging accessible to everyone. We offer enterprise WordPress solutions through WordPress VIP and payment solutions via WooCommerce Payments.

We also contribute to non-profit and open-source projects. Our annual revenue is half a billion US dollars.

Our mission is to make publishing, commerce, and messaging accessible to everyone. We want anyone with a story to tell it, anyone with a product to sell it, and everyone to manage their communications easily.

We believe in making the web a better place and live by our Credo. We prioritize and protect our customers’ freedom to use all tools of the open web, even those we don’t make. We don’t just make software for free; we make it for freedom.

Our core values focus on impact over time, effectiveness over busyness, and quality over quantity. We believe work should be fun, challenging, and provide essential services. We trust our workers with autonomy and want them to see the real-world results of their efforts. We also contribute to non-profit and open-source projects.

We have 1,458 Automatticians across 82 countries who speak 110 languages. Since our founding in 2005, we have been a remote-first company. We work in an asynchronous, fully distributed environment where employees choose their work location and hours.

Our culture values impact over hours, effectiveness over busyness, and quality over quantity, encouraging a good work-life balance. We track project work mainly on P2-themed WordPress.com blogs (70%), private chat rooms (25%), and Slack (5%). This setup allows for ²⁴⁄₇ activity due to our global distribution.

We organize smaller group and division meetups for team bonding. Employees typically travel for 3-4 weeks per year for these events. We’re experimenting with an in-person hub in our NYC office for AI-focused work, and some roles there require daily office presence.

We strive to create inclusive spaces, seek diverse perspectives, and increase participation from underrepresented groups. We also make our products freely available, translate them into many languages, and ensure they are accessible across various bandwidths and devices.

We offer a fully remote work culture with an open vacation policy, generous parental leaves, wellness support, and sabbaticals. We provide home office setup and coworking allowances. We also support continued learning through allowances for hardware, software, books, or conferences.

Our compensation includes a competitive base salary, with global ranges paid in local currency. We offer salary transparency for specific roles.

For US-based staff, benefits include 99% paid employee medical, dental, and vision coverage, a matching 401(k), and 100% paid life and long-term disability insurance. We are Disability Confident Committed. Specific benefits vary by country and are detailed on our Benefits Page.
