Overview

Here at Trello, we celebrate the many ways we work. With a team of over one hundred, we connect from Atlanta coworking spaces, Minnesota forests, Hawaii beaches, our headquarters in lower Manhattan, and many other locations.

We expect our developers to contribute more than just code. You’ll be involved in defining how things work, what they do, and why we do that instead of something else.  We also expect you to share your knowledge and expertise with everyone else. In other words, we’re all whole humans and expect the same from you. If that interests you, read on to learn more about the role.

  • You prefer to focus on server work with occasional full-stack tasks.
  • You have a passion for making features that are quick, useful, and easy to use.

More About Us

Our developers and designers run the show with management existing only to support, not dictate. We hire creative people and give them the autonomy to do great work. We’re strongly against artificial separations of responsibility and throwing work “over the wall.”

Our office is in New York City (but you don’t have to be).

We built Trello to be a remarkably great place to work.

We welcome all applicants regardless of race, color, ethnicity, actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, national origin, age, military service eligibility, veteran status, marital status, parental status, or caregiver status.

When you apply…

In your cover letter, please tell us what kind of features you like to work on, along with a brief example of that kind of feature.
