Why Work at AboutUs?
We are a small, venture-backed company based in Portland, Oregon. Our office is open, our culture is entrepreneurial, and our people are skilled, creative and driven. AboutUs.org was launched in 2006 and is now one of the most visited places on the Internet.
We're entering a period of growth, and expanding our team of builders to meet the demands of this new chapter in our company's history. Join us!
Our work environment is ideal. There are more windows than walls in our spacious office. Our desks are on wheels, with 30" cinema displays mounted on adjustable arms. The views of downtown and northeast Portland are unmatched. We play music, share laughs, and fly paper airplanes from one end of the space to the other.
We play harder than less successful companies work. Our ping pong table subs as a conference table. There's lunch hour yoga once a week. The kitchen and refrigerator are always stocked. We strive to ensure you arrive each morning to find engaging, challenging, and rewarding work.
