Automattic is the powerhouse behind a bunch of online tools you might already use for sharing your ideas and stories. They’re the folks who created WordPress CMS, WordPress.com for blogging, WooCommerce for building online stores, and Tumblr for creative expression. Their reach extends beyond these popular platforms – they also offer tools for writers (Day One) and developers (Jetpack).
What truly sets Automattic apart is its unique company structure. Forget the traditional office – they’re a fully remote company with over 1,900 employees spread across 95 countries! This global approach allows them to tap into a diverse pool of talent, fostering a truly international team.
Automattic’s mission is all about democratizing publishing. They believe everyone, regardless of background or location, should have the opportunity to be a publisher. This commitment extends to open-source software – the code behind many of their tools is freely available for anyone to use and improve.
