Careers

We're always open to meeting people, talented or not. We don't maintain a public list of open roles — if you're motivated enough to reach out, you are already the kind of person we want to meet.

Our approach

• We value initiative and impact over titles. Bring examples of work, projects, or ideas that show what you can build and why you care.
• We prioritize people who learn quickly, ship reliably, and care deeply about product quality and user experience.
• Cultural fit matters: we look for teammates who are collaborative, empathetic, and accountable.

For devs

• Direct customer line: At Paper, developers are part of the first line of customer communication. When users contact support about an issue, you'll often be speaking directly with them.
• You are the support: Our customers expect product-shaped answers from the people who build the product. That means developers may handle customer questions, troubleshoot live issues, and clarify behavior firsthand.
• Accountability matters: If something goes wrong, customers will contact you directly. We expect team members to take ownership, act quickly to resolve problems, and follow up transparently until the issue is closed.

Why this works

Hiring by motivation keeps our team small, focused, and flexible. It lets us discover candidates who don't fit predefined checklists but who bring exceptional drive, creativity, and problem-solving.

We don't list application instructions here — if you're motivated enough to reach out, that act alone speaks to the qualities we value. Make something that shows your impact and why you care; the rest will follow.

We believe this direct responsibility leads to better product design, faster fixes, and clearer empathy for our customers' needs.
