Why are you here?

I'm part of a cult. I want to work for you. I want to learn more. I have no clue.

It's time for the inmates
to run the asylum.

Killing scientists. Kidnapping the children of CEOs. Destroying the sun. Making Linus G. Sebastian miserable. What do all of these things have in common? You aren't doing them. To be fair, you probably never will. There is, however, an impossibly slim chance that you could. All you need to do? Scroll to the bottom of this page. Read the job listings. Pray that the one you apply for isn't a trap, designed to source our next victim. It's like Russian Roulette, but with an interview process.

Why work with us?

BECAUSE THE CUSTOMER IS USUALLY WRONG. 01

A simple thesis that has built us a sizable cult following. If conventional wisdom can be challenged, we'll give you the tools (and a paycheck) to find a better way. Working at dbrand means that, if you've got an idea worth exploring, we're not about to let a manager, lawyer, or MBA take it away from you.

BECAUSE YOU HATE JEFF BEZOS. 02

You're in luck: so do we. The way we see it, eCommerce has two roads ahead of it. Down one: a giant, Amazon-shaped vending machine. Down the other? Bespoke, curated, experience-driven brands that know their customers as well as they know their products. Join the team that isn't going to make you piss in a bottle.

BECAUSE YOU WANT A TASTE OF FAME. 03

Viral tweets. Front page of Reddit. Headlines on the Verge. You've accomplished none of these things. Assuming your neurons were activated when you scrolled through our timeline, you already know we can't flip a light switch without generating some sort of conversation. Come be part of something bigger than yourself.

BECAUSE YOU WANT TO KNOW THE FUTURE. 04

Working at dbrand is the closest you'll ever get to owning a crystal ball - except it's not a ball, it's an unreleased smartphone. Also, it's not made of crystal. Point is: whether you’re getting your hands on [REDACTED] or watching an unreleased cut of LTT's next video, early access comes with the job.

BECAUSE RENT IS DUE. 05

If r/antiwork has taught us anything, people expect to be paid in exchange for their time. That's why we make it a point to be upfront about compensation - and why our salaries are bolstered with industry-leading profit-share and GRSP benefits. Time to pick back up your shattered dreams of retirement.

BECAUSE DRUGS AREN'T FREE. 06

This is the contractually-obligated section where we talk about benefits and perks. We can't make them interesting, but we can confirm that they exist.
