While our lifeblood is our strong network of dealers, trade clients, and global consumers, our driving spirit comes from the people who walk our halls everyday: our employees. Membership to the 1stdibs team requires insatiable curiosity, focused ambition, and a passion for art, design, and technology. Just as our marketplace carries unique objects with wide-ranging provenance, our employees come from all walks of life to co-create the 1stdibs experience: MFAs mix with MBAs; gamers collaborate with classical pianists; industry veterans rub shoulders with recent college graduates. The work that we collaborate on shares a common theme: it involve problems that challenge us to explore new, untapped areas while also supporting the needs of our existing dealers and clients. Past and on-going projects include building a robust messaging platform for our global marketplace; launching our beautiful "Interiors" section, which profiles the top designers in the field; and developing comprehensive inventory management and communication tools for our world-wide network of dealers.
