The Role

• Manage and generally advocate for foundry tools within Typekit
• Represent Typekit in the type community

The Experience

The benefits

What do we have to offer? We’re a fast-growing, well-funded start-up with a vision for how we can change the web for the better. The gap between your ideas and their launch in our product will be shorter than anywhere else. 

The process 

Tell us about  an all-consuming problem and describe how you’re working to solve it. While you’re at it, tell us how you’ll help Typekit  advance what’s possible on the web and why you will rock this job as a Typekit team member. Resumes are helpful, but we care more about what you have to say.
