Our AI services model has shown what's possible when small, focused teams move fast together — the speed of collaboration, pace of career growth, and quality of what we build can become stronger when teams share space. As we grow, we want every new teammate to feel part of an in-person community from day one.That's why we are focusing our U.S. hiring in three cities, where we are investing in offices and building strong local teams:Santa Barbara, CA (Our HQ)Seattle, WAKansas City, KS/MOUnless a role's posting states otherwise, new U.S. roles are based in one of these three cities, and candidates should reside in (or be willing to relocate to) one of these areas. Each location follows an in-person schedule that reflects how our local teams work best; we'll walk you through what to expect for your specific role and city during the interview process.Focusing on offices and hiring in a few locations, rather than spreading thin across many cities, lets us invest deeply in each one so every team has real community, mentorship, and momentum in person.Working At ArteraCompany benefits - Full health benefits (medical, dental, and vision), flexible spending accounts, company paid life insurance, company paid short-term & long-term disability, company equity, voluntary benefits, 401(k) and more!Career development - Manager development resources, employee development fundsGenerous time off - Company holidays, Winter & Summer break, and flexible time offEmployee Resource Groups (ERGs) - We believe that everyone should belong at their workplace.
