At Workstate we take a culture first approach to team building where we focus on attributes such as communication, collaboration, teamwork, diversity, and an interest in continual learning as much as we do on a comprehensive list of specific technical skills.

So if you are excited about this position but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with all the listed skills, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the person we are looking for in this or another role.
