    Who We Are

    Devpost is the home for hackers. We’re a platform that lets developers showcase what they’re building, learn new skills, and get inspired by the work of their peers. Organizations run online and in-person hackathons to market their tools and initiatives to our active developer community. Our awesome clients include Oculus, Uber, Evernote, Twitter, Twilio, Venmo, IBM, Microsoft, Qualcomm, and many governmental organizations like the USDA and 18F.

    Developers consider us their go-to channel for discovering and competing in the world’s best hackathons, and for meeting and collaborating with other hackers. The global market for new software and its makers is exploding, and we’re uniquely positioned to provide developers with a platform for the things that really matter to them: personal growth, community, and professional opportunity.

    Our Culture

    Our culture is centered around a close relationship with our community, and a dedication to continuously improving our platform to meet their needs. Our employees are empowered to explore and take ownership of their own initiatives, and to make decisions in line with our metrics and mission. Our goal -- to celebrate and inspire hackers -- is firmly rooted in the belief that technology can bring about important change and improve lives.

    • Everyone on our team, including product, to engineering, to marketing is active on Devpost and contributes to the story behind our code.
    • We’re more focused on deliverables than meetings.
    • Everyone’s opinion is respected and all ideas are given equal consideration.
    • We're people, not robots. We value hard work, creativity, and initiative as much as a healthy work/life balance.

    Our Values

    Relentlessly Improve

    Time is limited. The industry we’re in is constantly changing. We cannot win if we don’t continually improve both our company and ourselves with intensity.

    Be Open

    If we are open about things we are and aren’t doing well, honest about everything, and transparent with information, we make better decisions.

    Work Together

    Collaboration between teams leads to better outcomes.

    Respect Everyone

    Respect our users, our paying customers, our city’s community, and each other. We honor diversity because everyone should be equally well-respected. It’s the right thing to do.

    Live our Mission

    It’s not enough to have a mission. We must live it passionately, and demonstrate it both inside and outside of our building in order to accomplish it.
