Automattic exists to democratize publishing and commerce so that anyone with a story can tell it, and anyone with a product can sell it, regardless of income, gender, politics, language, or where they live in the world. The company powers a significant portion of the web - tens of millions of sites, stores, and conversations worldwide - through products like WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, Jetpack, Day One, Pocket Casts, and Beeper. Built entirely as a distributed company since 2005, Automattic's team of 1,500+ employees spans more than 90 countries, proving that great work happens anywhere when you hire curious, driven people and give them the freedom to do their best work.
What sets Automattic apart is its unwavering commitment to open source and the philosophy that the company doesn't make software for free, but for freedom. This means building tools that empower users to own their content, data, and destiny online. From WordPress.org contributions to Gravatar, Akismet, and the WordPress mobile apps, Automattic continuously invests in the open web infrastructure. The company deploys code 60-80 times daily, maintains an open vacation policy, offers generous sabbaticals, and brings teams together annually for meetups around the world - all while maintaining the culture of a scrappy startup focused on making the web better for everyone.
