Our HQ is in Burlington, Vermont - one of the coolest places to live the outdoor lifestyle (oh, and work, too)! Our HQ is unlike any other office experience; including a flagship store, outdoor skate park and indoor skate park all on property - which is steps away from the bike path and Red Rocks Park. Our Montreal and Denver Hubs each have unique and equally rad vibes. Preferred candidates will be in-office three or more days per week in Burlington, Montreal, or Denver. A limited number of fully remote positions will be available, which will also require a reliable, high-speed internet connection.

Though we wish we could reach out to all applicants personally, you will only be contacted directly should you be chosen to move forward in the process. Candidates not chosen for this particular opportunity are encouraged to check back often for other roles as they are posted. Keep trying!
