Skip the line

You don’t fit in a box? Good.

You’re world-class. You don’t need to wait in line. Vendasta is built by founders, creators, engineers, athletes artists, tinkerers, and operators who never waited for permission. Neither should you.

If you’ve done something exceptional, you don’t need to wait for the “right role.” Just tell us who you are and why you’re different. We’re listening. We’re looking for you. We hire people with edge. People with vision. People who take ideas from zero to one. If that’s you, if you’ve done the extraordinary, this is your moment.

We’re especially looking for…

  • Built software used by 10,000+ people
  • Founded companies with $1M+ in revenue
  • Won global hackathons or pitch competitions
  • Led teams that scaled fast

How it works

Send your application

You tell us your story. We read every single one (and yes, even our Executive Team — they love these). If we see a spark, we’ll reach out. No forms, no gatekeeping. If the story fits, we build the role around you.

It might happen today, or in the next week, but rest assured, every submission is read.

Meet with us

That first conversation won’t feel like a formal interview. It’s more of a brainstorm: What drives you?

Where do you thrive? What role could you play in Vendasta’s roadmap? We’ll talk about how your strengths align, where you see yourself making an impact, and what it would take to make that happen here.

Build your role

If it feels like a fit, we’ll find a way to build a role around you — or reshape an existing one. We’ve done it before. Some of our best engineers, designers, and leaders came through doors that didn’t exist until they knocked.

Where you think you could make an impact

You’re not most people.

The best people we’ve hired never waited for a job posting. When they couldn’t find the door, they came in through the window. When the window was locked, they smashed it. When the glass cut their feet, they wrote code in blood. Or at least rewrote the role.

Now they’re changing the game from the inside.

Your turn. Let’s see what you’ve got.
