Careers
Wanted: Forward-Thinkers, Lifelong
Learners, and Multi-Talented Misfits
At SaunaSpace, we're committed to wellness. Empowered by deliberate craftsmanship and rooted in science, our therapeutic technology harnesses the power of the sun to naturally optimize health. This focus on well-being also informs a simple set of principles that guide how we approach our work and each other. If these resonate with you, check out our open positions because there might be a role with your name on it.
Self-managing Instead of Micromanaging
We believe in giving employees a clear understanding of what is expected and then letting them do what they think is best to meet those expectations. Adults at work should feel like adults. We trust you to get it done.
Craftsmanship and Wayfinders
Ever worked with a know-it-all? You won't work with any here. We believe those who can approach their work with a beginner's mind are the true craftspeople, diligent enough to perfect details through perpetually fresh eyes, and curious enough to imagine a new way. We keep our minds open to revelation and expect that you will too.
People First, Always
We're a diverse team of forward-thinkers, lifelong learners, and multi-talented misfits from all kinds of backgrounds. We hire based foremost on integrity, invest in on-the-job training, and work with your strengths to help you reach your full potential. Every employee is paid a sustainable living wage and receives a very competitive benefits package.
Next-Level Benefits
Part of our mission is to create a little more wellness in the world, not just for our customers, but for our employees too. This means all employees at the 6 month mark receive their very own SaunaSpace Luminati sauna to boost immunity and optimize their health by harnessing the power of sunlight. Want to share the perks with friends and family? We make it easy with a significant employee discount. You'll also get employer-paid health, dental, vision, and life insurance. Plus 40 hours of paid vacation after the first year and 80 hours after the second year. Oh, and did we mention the complimentary weekly yoga classes? Yeah, we've got your wellness covered.
Transparency And Community
We don't just value open minds, but an open layout. Our space is designed for transparency and a sense of shared community. You have plenty of room and autonomy to work independently but without the isolation of cubicles or doors in your face. We're a real team and we take care of each other.
Self-Starters Who Take Ownership
We have weekly all-hands meetings to make sure everyone is in the loop on what's going on across departments. We believe that this fosters meaningful engagement and empowers every single team member to take ownership by offering solutions and identifying opportunities.
