FULL-TIME

Who we are

Here at Scoop, we recognize that it’s the people that make a trip to the office worth it. That’s why since 2015 we’ve been focused on building solutions that remove the hurdles of bringing people together, so teams can focus on the work to be done, not where it happens.

We believe that the future of work is hybrid, and we embody that within our own culture. Our team is spread throughout the country and is a mix of passionate, resilient, product-obsessed builders excited to enable the next generation of flexibility for hybrid employees.

What we build

We build solutions that make hybrid work. Whether you’re a manager bringing your team together or an HR leader responsible for a hybrid organization, our platform makes it possible to successfully bring their hybrid experience to life.

Our hybrid work platform encompasses three product areas: Team Sync (hybrid team coordination), Workplace Sync (workplace management), and Commute Sync (carpooling). Within each of these products, our mission remains the same: provide the easiest possible way for teams to make the right decision about where and when work happens.

Our Engineering team

We’re proud to be an experienced, multi-faceted team that is energized to be building the technology that will power the next generation of work. With an emphasis on learning and humility, our Engineering team embraces the idea that engineering is not a lone discipline, partnering closely with the Product and UX teams to understand our users and their needs. Our collaboration enables us to shape the products we build and make effective decisions around trade-offs along the way.

We’re just as passionate about helping our teammates grow and learn as we are about shipping great products and building strong underlying technology.
