Amazing purpose and amazing people to work with :-)
Pros
Working for something that you truly love and believe in is incredibly rewarding. It's a new standard that's been made for me and I wouldn't want it any other way. Marco Polo makes it easy to love not only the product that we offer but also love the people that we get to work with.Cons
If remote work isn't for you, this would be a difficult job to do. But it's something I enjoy.Great Places To Work Certified, Great Places To Work, 2021
Founded in 2012, Marco Polo is driven by one heartfelt purpose—helping people feel close.
We’re a small, fully distributed team that cares about working joyfully and making a difference in the world. We work hard at building an amazing product, and just as hard to create a culture of empathy, trust, and purpose. We strive for “work-life integration,” and our Teamily includes chefs, home improvement experts, and community volunteers. In addition to generous medical, dental, and vision programs, some of our perks include: access to life-coaching, 401(k), and flexible vacation time. Though our backgrounds are diverse, we share a belief—lives flourish when people feel close. That common inspiration keeps us aligned with our purpose as a team, which is scattered across 11 states, coast-to-coast. We care deeply about diversity and inclusion at Marco Polo. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We can add teammates from anywhere in the US.
At Marco Polo, we are more than just a group of awesome co-workers, we are a close-knit Teamily (Team + Family).
We use our app the way it was intended, to keep close by chatting and sharing moments of joy, empathy, and love. From hockey games with the kids to cats purring on laptops, we get to see and learn so much more about each other than we would through typical “water cooler” conversations.
On your own time Life is busy. Marco Polo works when you have a moment to talk, even if your schedules don’t match. Unlike other video apps, you don’t need to be live. For close relationships With people you love, texts and social media don’t give you the whole picture and calls are hard to schedule. Have spontaneous face-to-face conversations and really see how your loved ones are doing.
Be together with groups Gather friends and family, chat with your support or hobby group, collaborate with co-workers or fantasy football teammates. Each person can watch and respond when it works for them. Easy and fun Speaking face to face is as easy as pressing “Start” and “Stop”. Have fun with doodles and voice filters, too!
Vlada began her journey at Northwestern University majoring in computer engineering and art. She went to launch a successful software career with more than 15 years of experience as an engineer, product manager, and designer; building mass-impact products such as MSN Messenger and Hotmail. With Marco Polo she is building an antidote for typical social media and using technology to spotlight authentic connection, communication, and emotional well-being.
The distance doesn’t slow us down. We keep the engine humming from our homes, co-working spaces, and coffee shops—connecting with daily Zoom calls, and retreats. Whether collaborating through Slack, video calls, or of course Marco Polo, our team knows how to keep connected—it’s what we do best! Does this sound interesting to you? If so, then we’d love to hear from you.
