About Us...

In 2021, PSPDFKit announced its first strategic growth investment led by Insight Partners, a New York-based global venture capital and private equity firm focused on growth-stage software and technology companies. Insight’s investment, which totals more than $115 million, is being used to accelerate product growth, sales & marketing efforts, and fund strategic acquisitions, further expanding the capabilities of PSPDFKit’s highly adopted document processing platform.

PSPDFKit hires people who are curious, creative, communicative, and collaborative. We’re a highly cross-functional organization, and we’re committed to tackling challenging problems so our customers can focus on building great products.

We are a globally distributed company with a mostly remote engineering team. Working time should overlap with most of the team across the US, Europe and Asia. If working from the US, you must be located in Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, or Virginia for payroll processing.

We Offer...

At our company, we champion a remote-first culture, giving our team members the autonomy to tailor their work schedules to their individual lifestyles, provided there's some working time common with the CET and EST zones (given our engineering's significant presence in CET). Every year, we host a company gathering at an offsite location; past locations have been in Croatia, Italy, Spain, Greece, Austria, Portugal, and Hungary. Team members have access to a competitive paid time off benefit, with additional days for conference attendance. Above all, we emphasize continuous growth, urging our team to pursue avenues of learning and innovation.

• Continuous improvement
• Feedback
• Transparency
• People
