Centricient Careers
The best job. Ever.

Although our team is small, our aspirations are mighty! We are looking for a few exceptional people to help build the next great company.

We are a well funded, semi-stealth mode startup that will improve the way consumers interact with companies. Founded by people who have done it before, we're confident that we can do it even better this time. Our prior company, went public in 2004 and grew to $225M in revenue with 1,200 employees before being acquired for $1.6B in 2012. The world has changed a lot since we did that and we're convinced there's an even bigger opportunity this time.

First and foremost, we are motivated by getting stuff done. We are Computer Scientists that love technology, but only if it works for our customers. We are using the latest frameworks and tools and intend to contribute to the Open Source community. We believe in going fast and failing forward. We're not afraid of hard problems and look forward to doing things that have never been done before.

Delighting customers, taking care of employees and quickly innovating are our principles. Our culture is easy going, respectful and smart, but also accountable and impatient with a touch of perfectionism. Since our people are our most important asset, our perks are top notch, including fully paid standard family medical coverage, competitive salary, unlimited vacation policy and the opportunity to benefit from our future success with stock options.

We are maniacally focused on building our first product. We've identified a tremendous opportunity, have gotten feedback from potential customers and industry experts and have defined our MVP. At this stage everyone in the company is engaged in building product (which explains the lack of investment in this website!). We are looking for smart people to join our team who plan to become or who are already great technologists. In the future, we'll be hiring in other roles, but for now we are focused on growing Engineering.
