Q&A With Tumblr Employees

Tumblr was started with the belief that people need a place to say what they want, be who they want, and connect over what they love. Now, billions of posts later, we continue to build out Tumblr as a platform for diverse communities to express their points of view. And we’re committed to hiring a workforce that represents the same diversity. We know that teams who bring a variety of backgrounds and perspectives to their work build better products—and that better products mean a better experience for all of the communities we serve. It's a big task and a lot of responsibility. That’s why we need smart, humble, funny people to keep Tumblr running and growing. We’re big enough to give you the resources you need and still small enough that you can work on things that matter. We are part of the Automattic family of companies dedicated to making the web a better place for more than a billion people each month. Come work with us.
