Our mission is to inspire the workplace of the future by creating simple yet powerful productivity tools that promote a more fulfilling way to work and live.
We're a multidisciplinary, fully remote team that’s passionate about creating products, like Todoist and Twist, that improve people’s lives. We thrive on innovating new solutions to old productivity challenges and we seek to rethink how productivity tools are made.
When you become a Doister, you’re not only joining a global, remote-first company, but a team of 60+ people who value:
Life & Diversity
What's Doist stance on diversity?
One of the greatest strengths of our team is how diverse we are. Our success truly comes from having the opportunity to build an organization and products that are influenced by people who come from all over the world, with different upbringings, genders, and identities.
What about Doist employees who have families and kids?
In an effort to also support our team members who are new parents, we also welcome them to bring their partner and baby to our company retreat.
How does Doist handle maternity/paternity leave?
Becoming a parent is an exciting time and we want to be sure that our team members who are new parents are able to take time away to take care of family. We offer 18 weeks of maternity leave and 5 weeks of paternity/adoption leave.
Remote work isn't exceptional as companies that are spread around multiple offices have done it for the last many years. The special sauce is communicating asynchronously as the default 💡
Amir - Doist's CEOApplying process
How about Doist interview process?
Allan, our COO, met with Remotive and shared a bit more on how to land a job at Doist here.
Here’s another great read before applying...
What does a first week/month at Doist look like, remotely?
Starting a new job can be a lot to take in, especially remotely. At Doist, the first week is very exploratory. You’ll be set up with an onboarding project (built in Todoist of course!) and a mentor within the company who will help facilitate your onboarding over the course of 12 weeks. You’ll also have an opportunity to spend 2 weeks in your mentor’s city to get some in-person mentoring time!
Can we hear from one or more remote Doist employees?
Yes, here's a talk from Amir, Doist’s CEO!
Can folks apply to multiple positions?
Yes! If you feel your skill set fits multiple roles, you’re always welcome to apply to each role.
Values
Inclusivity, open-mindedness, and diversity.
Our team members come from 30 different nationalities ranging from Jamaica to Poland, Taiwan to Australia. We’re men and women, gay and straight, religious and atheistic. Our remote company tries to be borderless in every way – we believe that this way of working is the future.
Perks & Benefits
⏰No set hours, people work 40 hour weeks asynchronously.
Tech Stack
What's Doist Communication stack?
At Doist we communicate primarily in writing using Twist (our own product), however for video conferencing we typically use Zoom or Google Meet.
What’s Doist Tech stack?
Our backend is mostly written in Python, with a few microservices in Go. The web app is written in ES6 using React, and the mobile apps in their platform's native language (Java/Kotlin for Android, Swift for iOS). Everything is hosted on AWS, using EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, SQS, Fargate, etc. We all use Git and GitHub.
