To disrupt the market, you have to think differently, work differently and simply be different. ZBD is home to lifelong startup innovators, boundary-pushing hackers, world-class platform engineers, uncompromising security experts and much more.
No office, no fixed hours, all-in dedication.
ZBD has been fully remote from the start, allowing us to hire the best talent and support them in living the lifestyle they want, wherever they want. Flexibility is in our DNA, and so is buy-in, open communication and mutual respect. Everyone is welcome as long as they deliver.
The one downside to no office is we don't have any corporate-looking photos of us working. But we do love getting together on offsite adventures!
