SoWork careers
Hi! Welcome to SoWork, where our mission is to move work from the Earth to the Cloud. We are a super tight-knit team, founded at Harvard. We're out to build a massively multiplayer online workplace to power the new world of work.
Nearly two decades ago (?), a group of our teammates met playing World of Warcraft (Horde, obvi), and it completely changed the way we looked at teamwork, collaboration, and what was possible using social time online. Even though we were on three different continents at the time, we built real relationships, owned Alliance noobs together, and became best friends. Now, we're out to build a massively multiplayer online workplace to power the new world of work.
As you're undoubtedly aware, the shift to remote and distributed work has unveiled some serious problems in communication, teamwork, culture-building, productivity, and collaboration, on even the best teams. Perhaps surprisingly, many of these problems mirror issues that gamers have solved in order to work together online for gaming (particularly in MMO-land). So, we're out to apply proven gaming principles to the business world to make remote, distributed, and hybrid work wonderful.
