About the role
<h3>The Company</h3> <p><a href="https://automattic.com/">Automattic</a>—a global leader in publishing, messaging, and commerce software—is building the operating system for the open web. With a strong commitment to open source, we have deep roots in <a href="https://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a>, the platform that powers our business and 43% of all sites on the worldwide web. Our goal is to democratize publishing, commerce, and messaging so that anyone with a story can tell it, anyone with a product can sell it, and everyone can manage their communications from a single source.</p> <p>In a fast-paced, complex market, we own a diverse set of assets, deploy numerous business models, and offer scalability from B2C to SMB and Enterprise customers. Our brands include website building and cloud hosting (WordPress.com), ecommerce and fintech (WooCommerce), Enterprise SaaS (WordPress VIP), and infrastructure hosting, spanning customer segments that include SMB, online merchants, enterprise, government, and even consumer. In our incubator, we also support a broad set of new business start-ups that currently incorporate messaging, ads, podcasting, journaling, and social media.</p> <p>The co-founder of WordPress and CEO of Automattic, <a href="https://ma.tt/">Matt Mullenweg</a>, is driving a growth and expansion strategy that is still in its “early days,” with a massive addressable market and exceptional upside.

Over 4 million online stores run on WooCommerce, which accounts for 33% of all online stores globally, and more than 1 billion people use our products each month.

This means that you can work from anywhere in the world, in any time zone, leveraging collaboration tools and asynchronous communication.</p> <p>Automattic’s story would not be complete without mentioning our focus on mergers and acquisitions. Over the past 17 years, we’ve acquired 35 companies, including <a href="https://woocommerce.com/">WooCommerce</a>, <a href="http://parse.ly">Parse.ly</a>, and most recently, <a href="http://texts.com">Texts.com</a> and <a href="http://beeper.com">Beeper.com</a>, our multi-channel messaging plays.
