Who We're Looking For

We are looking for people who have a passion for consumer-facing products to join our product and engineering teams. These teams work closely together as part of an agile product development team and are an integral part of Rockets of Awesome, responsible for the digital customer experience of our website’s ecommerce and subscription box channels, as well as driving growth for the business. You will work closely with partners in marketing, creative, customer experience, merchandising, data science, business intelligence / analytics, and executives to create experiences that our customers (both adults and kids) love, and that help our business meet its strategic goals.

• You’re smart and you get things done.

• You prefer shipping early and often and tight feedback loops.

• You favor simplicity and optimize for clarity and learning.

• You're mindful about continuously improving, teaching, and learning. No tool, pattern, or process is sacred.

Why Rockets of Awesome?

• We help simplify Mom’s life and make her feel like a hero by making it easy to find awesome kids clothes that she AND her kids will both love.
• We help kids look and feel awesome. Our kid customers especially love our fun designs (think flip sequins, tutus, glow-in-the-dark and 3D prints, silver metallic bomber jackets) and super soft fabrics. Best yet, our clothes are actually comfortable to wear.
  
• Our spirit animal is a unicorn. Everything we do has to be awesome, magical, fun, and unique.
• We employ people who are smart, talented, nice, passionate, customer-centric, collaborative, and creative.
• We’re transparent: We hold bi-weekly company meetings to share and learn and have an open, collaborative office environment.
• We believe in working in an over-the-top awesome environment. We love to celebrate holidays, wins, and people who go above and beyond. We like to take turns playing DJ on the office speakers, and catch up over company-provided snacks. We also have an “Awesome Committee” who plan fun outings and events like themed costume scavenger hunts across the city; potlucks; game nights; celebrations; and crafting for a cause. We also recently hired a pink hip hop dancing gorilla singing telegram to come to our office to celebrate a big launch with us. If this sounds like your jam, let's talk!
