We're hiring

iFixit is a small company with a big goal: we want to show the world how to fix every thing. ¶

Our staff is the focal point of a global community of people showing people how to fix the things they own. We believe that we can make the world better by empowering people to take control of their hardware.

We are the world's foremost experts on Apple repair, and we've set the gold standard for online repair documentation. We have already helped millions of people fix their own Apple devices, and we plan to help tens of millions more.

iFixit is a great place to work. We have an incredible working environment, a world-class team, and a vision to change the world. Our team loves having fun together. We have regular barbecues, enjoy a catered lunch together once a week, and have beer night at Spike's after farmer's market on Thursdays. We take the entire team to Maker Faire every year to gawk at Tesla coils and show people how to take professional repair photos.

We are based in San Luis Obispo, one of the most amazing places in the world. SLO is the heart of California's lovely central coast. We live here because we love the community, natural beauty, freedom from traffic, and huge variety of fun things to do. When we're not kayaking along the coast or basking outside in the sunshine, we buckle down and do things that make the world better.

Open Positions ¶

User Interface Designer ¶

The designer we hire will have:

A minimalist sensibility.

Prototype rapidly, failing early and often — and succeeding even more.

This position is a tremendous opportunity to make the world better through design. We believe that design strongly influences culture and that constraints inspire rather than limit creativity. The design of our software and repair manuals is the vanguard of a worldwide cultural backlash against consumerism and toward repair.
