Senior Full Stack Product Engineer II
Gather • Bring your remote team closer together
About Us
In recent years, remote and hybrid work has surged in popularity, providing workers with unprecedented access to opportunities and an enhanced quality of life. However, our existing tools were not designed to facilitate effective remote work. Often, work can feel isolating, transactional, and devoid of the camaraderie that fosters a sense of community.
Gather aims to address this challenge by building virtual offices that blend the best aspects of in-person work into the remote experience. We’ve already seen success with over 10,000 remote-first companies using our spaces daily.
Yet, we believe this is just the beginning of our broader vision for the Metaverse. We are excited about how the Metaverse can dismantle physical barriers, not only regarding where you can work but also which friends and family you can connect with and what educational opportunities you can access.
Join us in this mission!
