Remote First

CareerPlug is 100% remote for any US-based employee! We know the heart of our business is wherever our employees work — from our space in Austin to a home office on Lake Michigan, to an outfitted van exploring the American West (true story!).

Of course, we also crave face-to-face connection! We offer employees the opportunity to gather in-person a few times per year, with full travel expenses paid. Check out the highlight video from our CareerPlug Summit in Boulder, Colorado in July 2024.
