We're building the creative layer for modern communication. Every month, over a billion people make presentations — but the tools they use to make them haven't evolved in decades. We're changing that, using AI to disrupt a massive market. Millions of people rely on Gamma to create, teach, and persuade, creating more than 1 million gammas every day. We see Gamma as the next great workplace tool, combining viral B2C love with a massive B2B opportunity. We believe AI can be a true creative partner: one that understands context, clarity, and taste. We’ve reached a $2.1B valuation , crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue , and have been profitable since 2023. We're an imaginative, passionate team who takes our work seriously, but not ourselves. Our culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity.

You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap. You default to action, even when the answer isn’t clear yet. You value details, but know when to ship and move on. You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn. You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it. You know kindness and intensity are not opposites. You like working with people who care deeply: about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen. Who we are Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someone’s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday. We care about craft, move with intention, and don’t mind getting a little scrappy. It’s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic — but that’s what makes it interesting. Here’s a bit about what it’s like to work here, from people on the inside:

• quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way”
• You can have an idea and just run with it.”
• Everyone’s talented and humble — the mix keeps you sharp.”
• We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it.”
