Pros
Since day 1, Nextdoor has made me feel so welcomed and included even as a permanently remote employee. Everyone is so genuine and fun to work with, and my direct manager has been so supportive and helped me with my promotion. Highly recommended!Cons
There are probably the normal growing pains such as lack of official processes that we will need to implement as the company scales, but nothing that's unusual.Diverse communities are stronger communities.
At Nextdoor, we celebrate our similarities and our differences. To best serve our customers and build a product that truly empowers communities around the world, we are building a diverse team that reflects each community’s unique characteristics, and cultivating an inclusive environment where everyone can be seen and heard.
Our Commitment to Increasing Diversity
Our core values
In order to build a product that truly empowers communities around the world, we need to understand their values, cultures, and traditions.
That's why we're working hard to build a diverse team that reflects each community’s unique characteristics and cultivating an inclusive environment where everyone can be seen and heard.
Employee-led resource groups (ERGs) like WIN (for female employees), BAND (for black employees), Rainbowhood (for LGBTQ employees), Parenthood (for parent employees), and Vecinos (for latinx employees) meet biweekly. Check out this blog to meet our ERGs!
Join our innovative, diverse, and welcoming team, and help us empower neighbors around the world. We're looking for software engineers, data scientists, marketers, and more! See open positions here!
Build technology that cultivates a kinder world
At Nextdoor, we believe in the transformative power of community. You will be joining a team that is passionate about connecting neighbors and small to midsize bussines around the world, and contributing to an engineering culture that encourages collaboration, camaraderie and belonging.
We believe engineers should have a stake over all aspects of the product - from coming up with the next big ideas to build, all the way through understanding the impact of new features through rigorous data analysis.
Meet our Local Ecosystem Team at Nextdoor
Our mission is to build a local business platform that maximizes the value exchanged between neighbors and SMBs. As the neighborhood hub, we have a unique opportunity to foster meaningful connections between neighbors and the SMBs they love.
As part of this team, you will be playing a crucial role in defining, architecting, and building the systems and features that enable SMBs to join and participate in their Nextdoor communities.
Project Spotlight: The Kindness Reminder
When building new products at Nextdoor, our team incorporates solutions that are tech-driven and directly powered by our neighbors.
To encourage positivity, we created the Kindness Reminder. If a neighbor replies to a post with a potentially offensive or hurtful comment, the neighbor will be notified to reconsider their reply.
It uses machine learning based on information gathered from comments flagged by neighbors, and continues to learn the nuanced ways we can minimize incivility on our platform. Read more about the Kindness Reminder here.
Build the neighborhood hub for trusted good, services, and connections.
Our business team is a driven and strategic group of neighbors who advocate for our advertisers, public agencies, members, and for one another.
The team culture mirrors the larger business focus, building trusted connections through transparency and kindness to cultivate a kinder world where everyone has a neighborhood and teammate they can rely on.
Team Spotlight: Local Team
At Nextdoor, we believe in the transformative power of community. We are a lean but powerful team — each of us have diverse perspectives because that’s what we seek out and respect in others.
We are on a mission to foster a strong community at Nextdoor, and by joining our team you will have the opportunity to directly impact the growth of our business.
Create partnerships that benefit neighborhoods and communities for good.
We have partnered with Clorox to encourage more caregiving across the country through Nextdoor's Help Map.
Some neighbors need help but don't know where to turn, while others want to help but don't know where to start.

Develop a more welcoming, inclusive platform for everyone.
Serving and understanding our neighbors is at the heart of everything we do. This is especially important as we look to make our platform a welcoming place for everyone.
Our team of passionate designers, product managers, researchers, engineers, and data scientists are helping shape the future of the Nextdoor product as we continue to grow and provide neighbors with unique experiences that deliver on our purpose to cultivate a kinder world where everyone has a neighborhood they can rely on.
We believe Nextdoor can be the place where important conversations happen that build stronger neighborhoods.
External advisors play an important role in our company and our product, and in 2019 we established three advisory boards consisting of a diverse group of academics, industry experts, and community leaders. These experts advise on: building deeper connections between neighbors, the elements of thriving communities, and increasing civic engagement in neighborhoods around the world.
It starts with a wave.
Our new logo is inspired by you — our neighbors. It reflects the actions and gestures we see in neighborhoods every day. It starts with a wave. A wave is a universal gesture of connection. Waves build and grow. One wave leads to another. And another. Our Nextdoor Wave is both a warm welcome to all and a reminder that when we reach out to connect with those nearby, the possibilities are endless.
