The Essential careers

What we do — We make and sell the single best version of all your essentials, at the best price possible.

How we do it — We're not an "everything store."We sell only the essentials, we're members-only and we only sell our own brand. We cut out the middlemen, the brands, the physical stores and the markups — to make products cost a lot less, all while paying the producer more.

Why we do it — To add meaning to people’s lives through products they use and love, made by people who know and care, with stories that matter, and means that are honest.

Since launching, we've sold over 30,000 years of membership and have been covered by Forbes, Adweek, SF Chronicle and TechCrunch. We've also been funded by Y Combinator, the San Francisco 49ers, Joe Montana, Matt Bellamy, The House Fund, Kima Ventures, Altair VC and hundreds of iconic Silicon Valley investors.

As a team, we look for candidates with a shared vision, an intense work ethic, a love for craft and deep desire to make things of value. We offer important problems to solve, freedom, a collaborative culture and the unfettered ability to do your life's work.
