About Pocket (Mozilla)

Website Linkedin

We invite you to become a vital part of our small team in San Francisco. Weโ€™re building a company that enables people to save and consume content that is worthy of both their time and attention. By doing so, we want to make it easier to spend time with more high-quality content, no matter how noisy it gets.

If you are passionate about using technology to improve peopleโ€™s lives, we believe Pocket has challenges in front of us that will excite you. Weโ€™re hoping youโ€™ll be ready to jump in and get your hands dirty, too. Weโ€™re a small team and that means lots of opportunity to own things from start to finish that have tremendous impact on large numbers of people, across many different devices and platforms.

Nearly 30 million people have saved more than 3 billion articles and videos to Pocket. Every day, people all over the world are using Pocket to save and read whatโ€™s interesting to them, surfacing a unique, human view of whatโ€™s actually worth reading and watching on the web.

In a world where we are buried by content, where itโ€™s become increasingly harder to find signal in the noise, truth from fiction, and even the value of our press and written word is being challenged, we need a platform where high-quality, thoughtful content and free speech can rise above the rest.

If that sounds compelling, weโ€™d love to meet you.
