At Rover, everyone has ownership of their work and the opportunity to make a true impact. We believe that being diverse and inclusive is key to our success and encourage every employee to share their unique perspective while being their true self.
We believe everyone deserves the unconditional love of a pet, and Rover exists to make it easier to experience that love. We’re supporting dog owners and empowering dog sitters to run thriving pet-care businesses in your neighborhoods. The Rover app and website connect dog and cat parents with loving pet sitters and dog walkers in neighborhoods across the US, Canada, and Europe.

We’re the world’s first connected carsharing marketplace, on a mission toward empowering people to carshare everywhere. We developed the world’s first connected device for carsharing, which allows users to rent, find, and unlock Getaround cars using the Getaround app.

We don’t just build a product. We create an experience.
Dropcam, a Nest company, is developing cutting-edge technology that is revolutionizing the way people connect to their home and to the world.
An experience that allows you to watch anything from anywhere. (And we do mean anything: Dropcam’s live streaming technology was originally built for reasons that might surprise you.)
Engineers... This is complicated. We promise.
Much like launching a fleet of suborbital spacecrafts or getting a seat on the subway during rush hour, building a stable, highly-available live video streaming system isn't easy.
While we’ll let Richard Branson handle the first (and we’ll provide a pre-tax commuter plan for the second), the third is a problem we know we can solve... with your help.
And you will make a difference.
Each member of the team is integral to our success. Whether your spec’ing a new design element or landing our next great partnership, we’re counting on you to move the dial.

Lumosity is a leading brain training program, brought to you by Lumos Labs, Inc. Lumosity’s web and mobile games are designed by scientists to challenge core cognitive abilities.
Lumosity’s scientists take neuropsychological and cognitive research tasks, or design new ones, and work with game designers to transform them into 50+ cognitive games. Designed to be both fun and adaptively challenging, Lumosity’s training program is accessible to people of all ages — helping them stay challenged to the full extent of their abilities.
Lumos Labs also has a collaborative research initiative, the Human Cognition Project, which currently partners with over 90 university collaborators. Through the HCP, we grant qualified researchers free access to Lumosity’s cognitive training tasks, assessments, research tools, and, in some cases, limited access to data on cognitive task performance — helping them conduct larger, faster, and more efficient studies.

We are Uber. The go-getters. The kind of people who are relentless about our mission to help people go anywhere and get anything and earn their way. Movement is what we power. It’s our lifeblood. It runs through our veins. It’s what gets us out of bed each morning. It pushes us to constantly reimagine how we can move better. For you. For all the places you want to go. For all the things you want to get. For all the ways you want to earn. Across the entire world. In real time. At the incredible speed of now.
The idea for Uber was born on a snowy night in Paris in 2008, and ever since then our DNA of reimagination and reinvention carries on. We’ve grown into a global platform powering flexible earnings and the movement of people and things in ever expanding ways. We’ve gone from connecting rides on 4 wheels to 2 wheels to 18-wheel freight deliveries. From takeout meals to daily essentials to prescription drugs to just about anything you need at any time and earning your way. From drivers with background checks to real-time verification, safety is a top priority every single day. At Uber, the pursuit of reimagination is never finished, never stops, and is always just beginning.
