Instawork has quickly grown the essential staffing engine for local businesses and professionals, including our most recent 60M series D raise. With 4M downloads in the app store, it means that we now have the opportunity to build something even bigger.
Beyond just connecting workers with businesses to do shift work, we're quietly building a startup within Instawork. This will be a team primarily composed of former founders and early stage startup veterans which operates independently to build and ship new product lines.
We're looking for a lead designer for this new startup within Instawork - you'll work directly with the executive team and a handful of founder-grade engineers to imagine completely new experiences and build end-to-end. We'd love to share more and get to know you.
Instawork's Values
Bias for Action -- We practice high-velocity decision-making, despite encountering ambiguity frequently.
Act Like an Owner -- We have a strong ownership mentality, because of this, we work smart, hard, and long. Every person on the team has the potential to have a large impact.
Always Be Learning -- We learn rapidly and eagerly, from different teams within and outside the company. Respectful debate makes our organization stronger.
Empathy, Trust, Candor -- Being empathetic to our users and each other helps build trust in our community and company, and fosters successful decision-making.
Instawork's goal is to be the essential hiring engine for all businesses that support today’s local workforce. People increasingly expect easy access to quality work that fits into their lives, not the other way around. Instawork connects businesses with these qualified workers by creating flexible opportunities for workers to earn income, build new skills, and test out employers prior to accepting full-time positions.
Instawork specializes in hospitality and light industrial skills, the backbone of the local community and essential services. This $70 billion dollar industry suffers from persistent labor challenges that’s prime for disruption. And through the pandemic we’ve seen record growth, delighting thousands of businesses and working Professionals across the country.
We’ve been fortunate to be funded by some of the greatest investors in Silicon Valley: Benchmark (Bill Gurley), Y Combinator, Spark Capital, Google Ventures, among many more. Leveraging our accelerated growth, we will continue to expand throughout the US and globally in order to revolutionize the labor market
