Great products and services immeasurably improve our world. From the cochlear implant to the iPhone, the things humans build excite, uplift, and shape the lives of millions.
At Dovetail, it’s our mission to improve the quality of every thing. Helping our customers create incredible products and services is the end goal—but everything starts with our team, culture, and the work we do together.
We’re proud of our high-quality bar and sweat the details on everything from minor product changes to the execution of major marketing campaigns and infrastructure developments.
We believe that being in-person together enables creativity, teamwork, and innovative problem-solving—it’s one of the things that sets us apart in an increasingly disconnected world. We encourage and support our people to push themselves, to learn more, and to seek greatness in their craft. We celebrate diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, and provide equal opportunities for all employees to grow, learn, and succeed.
We thrive in situations of uncertainty and ambiguity; sweat the details on everything we produce; embrace solving hard problems with smart colleagues; think and write clearly and concisely, deploy storytelling to drive buy-in; remain calm in stressful situations; and seek what’s best for Dovetail and our customers at all times.
If you are excited by our culture, passionate about our mission, and keen to learn and be challenged in your craft, then we hope you’ll take the next step and talk to us about our open roles.

Learn more about the development of our mission
Put the customer first
Seek to understand—and then solve—real customer problems. Earn and keep customer love through transparency, authenticity, and results. Watch competitors, but obsess over customers.
If we do it, we nail it
First impressions matter. Sweat the details, don’t sacrifice quality, and create an awesome experience at every touchpoint whether it’s support, our interview process, or the product.
Do the thing
Keep the speed up by taking pragmatic risks. Only agonize over irreversible decisions. Be reliable and follow through. If you say you’ll do something, do it. If you’re off track, communicate.
Stay humble
Be authentic, humble, and empathetic to others. Remember the human behind the work. Operate collaboratively—rally around problems, and celebrate wins together.
Open by default
Trust others and assume good intent. If you need to build context and understanding; ask. Always share information freely.
How we show up
These guiding principles are how we live our values on a day-to-day basis. They set us apart from other organizations and make it clear what we value in the people we work with. If they resonate with you, you’ll like it here.
Curiosity
Creativity comes from diversity, divergent thinking, and open-mindedness. Celebrate ideas from left-of-field places. Respond first to ideas with positivity about the potential, before skepticism.
Efficiency
Solve problems with scalable, compounding solutions. Continually interrogate our ways of working, tools, process, and rituals to look for optimization opportunities.
Fundamentals
The best solutions often come from consistently “nailing it.” If we do this, we’ll maintain customer trust and be proud of what we create.
Initiative
Being ‘open by default’ gives everyone the opportunity to build context and clarity, take initiative, make autonomous decisions, and influence their own career path.
Ownership
Act like an owner. Equity is at a company-level, not a team-level. No functional bickering.
Progress
We balance all inputs to “do the thing.” Disagree and commit over making decisions by committee. We’re intentional about who’s in the room to facilitate effective and productive conversations.
Storytelling
We use the power of emotive storytelling to align, inspire, and provide clarity—both for internal communication as well as outward-facing brand and product positioning.
Teamwork
Working together as a team builds trust, relationships, a sense of belonging, and results in better outcomes. The most effective way to achieve this is in-person collaboration.
