ABOUT GOODR
We create and sell active eyewear for anyone. No Slip. No Bounce. All Polarized. All Fun. Interested in joining our team? Keep reading.
OUR VALUES: We have two core values: Fun & Authenticity.
- FUN = Being sh*tty isn’t fun. Agreed? Taking pride in your work, finding joy in being GREAT, and celebrating wins… and losses. Now, that’s fun!
- AUTHENTICITY = Focusing on being authentic over being liked. (Next-level guru stuff. Count it.)
LEADERSHIP: We expect our leaders to be guiding lights for their teams. To support that, we provide leadership courses to sharpen their leadership abilities, including an in-house leadership coach.
Fun Fact: We do not allow email to be sent internally. Carrier pigeons only. JK, we use Slack.
AUTONOMY: We practice autonomy, empowerment, and accountability so that every team member can be in control of their own life.
- HYBRID WORKING: This role is required to be in our Inglewood office every Tuesday and Thursday with the occasional third day thrown in.
- PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: We have an all-company learning program so that we’re constantly leveling up our skills.
SUSTAINABILITY: We think Earth’s pretty rad. That’s why we take action wherever possible to limit our impact on the planet.
- 1% FOR THE PLANET MEMBER: 1% of goodr’s annual sales go directly to environmental organizations.
- CARBON NEUTRAL: In 2019, goodr became a 100% carbon neutral company.
Fun Fact: goodr celebrates every Earth Day by releasing limited-edition sunglasses with frames made from 100% recycled materials—and the packaging is 100% sustainable, too!
ABOUT THE ROLE
Do you look at a mess of legacy technical debt and see a beautiful puzzle instead of a reason to pull your hair out? We’re looking for a digital wizard to architect scalable, cloud-first platforms while ensuring our systems don’t pull a "blue screen of death" during a big launch. You’ll be the one holding the keys to the kingdom, negotiating vendor contracts like a shark and keeping our data more secure than a squirrel’s favorite nut stash.
If you can translate a "strategic roadmap" into plain English without making our eyes glaze over, you’re already halfway there. We need a leader who can kill off useless tech dependencies so we don’t accidentally end up using floppy disks in 2026. If you’re ready to lead our tech empire with high-level genius and a healthy dose of sarcasm, plug yourself in and apply!
