The web is changing — and we’ve made it our mission to make sure that it changes for the better.

We’re working on tools that help developers build a fast, healthy, and scalable web. There’s no shortage of interesting problems to solve — from creating a intuitive and powerful experience in our core app, to building the resilient and secure infrastructure that powers it, to crafting open source tools that drive the ecosystem around it, to getting to know the developers in our communities and making sure they can be successful with the JAMstack.

So far we’ve assembled a smart, diverse, and enthusiastic team that’s committed to helping the web put its best foot forward. Sound like something you can get behind? Apply for one of our open positions. Oh, and give Netlify a try while you’re at it.

We recently raised $53M in Series C funding to bring forward the next generation of tooling for a more accessible web. This round was led by the EQT Ventures with participation from existing investors Andreessen Horowitz & Kleiner Perkins. This brings Netlify’s funding raised in total to $97M to date.
