Forem is a company committed to community.

We operate two online communities of our own — DEV and CodeNewbie — along with Forem, the underlying open source software that powers the platform.

DEV is a community where ~1 million registered software developers of all backgrounds and experience levels gather to connect, share knowledge, and participate in conversations with one another.  CodeNewbie is a social network built specifically for early career developers and those navigating career-related decisions. We built this community as an extension for our popular podcast and annual conference.

Forem is the open source software that powers DEV and CodeNewbie.  It is a platform established on trust and transparency that does not track users, centralize control, or hoard user data. As an open-source platform, every line of code is auditable by the community itself.

Join us as we continue our mission of providing free and open source community software to the world.


Why Join us:

Our mission: To provide the world with free and open source building blocks for cultivating safe, modern, and independent communities. We want to create inclusive communities and empower a human-centered web.

Massive Market: Social networking and online community continues to be one of the biggest possible markets. Forem has the potential to be an Internet scale business.

Demonstrated Traction: DEV and CodeNewbie have ~1 million registered members and reach more developers each month than Hacker News.

An Open-Source Platform Model: Forem has a strong contributing community of ~650 developers and ~20k+ GitHub stars.


How we operate:

We are a remote-first team and have no physical office. We have team members all across the world, in a wide span of time zones. We prioritize asynchronous productivity and have just one full-team required meeting per week. On Fridays, there are no meetings (unless you’re in sales!) and at the end of each quarter we have “Quiet Week,” a meeting-free week to get more heads-down time in. 

Our work culture relies on trust and the ability to work independently, though we also collaborate in real-time when a situation calls for that level of coordination. We value emotional intelligence, learning, and growth, and are excited to identify diverse and well-rounded candidates who share our passion and priorities. We ground ourselves in over communicating and iterating, focusing on the fundamentals, and serving the community.

We understand that many companies have uncommunicative and time intensive application processes. At Forem, we strive for transparency. Our hiring process starts with a questionnaire and is followed by 1-3 rounds of panel interviews. We strive to get back to candidates within 2 weeks of each step of the process.
