Thunkable
Who We Are
Thunkable was founded on a simple mission to enable anyone to build their own awesome apps. We believe that by doing so, we can grow and diversify the community of technology creators who will lead the economy of the future (notes).
We seek and embrace diversity in all of its forms. We strive to do the right thing for our users. We aspire to be open, honest and nice to each other. We try to include everyone (including vegetarians). We aim to be on the cutting edge of the latest technologies so that we can enable our users to be the same.
“Thunkable is a close-knit, diverse set of individuals who are strung together by their commitment to their mission to democratize app development” - James, Thunkable intern
We currently have: +500K Users +1.5M Apps +16M Monthly Active Users of apps built on Thunkable
We grew out of an MIT/Google research collaboration that has grown to be one of the largest app development tools for non-developers in the world, with over 1% of apps on the Google Play store having been built on our technology.
We are backed by Y Combinator, Lightspeed, NEA, as well as a number of other top VCs.
We have a number of semi-independent groups working on different aspects of development (e.g. infrastructure) or different product-oriented verticals (e.g. gaming).
We currently have weekly release cycles, but are striving for faster release mechanisms.
Our biggest challenge is to remove as much of the friction and complexity of cross-platform mobile app development, testing and deployment as possible for our users. One example of this is building our users' iOS apps for them in the cloud, at scale.
You would help develop gaming-based functionality into our platform to enable our users to build custom casual gaming apps.
You would help improve our ability for us scale our product.
You would help to streamline and enhance the ways that our users build their apps' user interfaces.

We have a mixture of on-site and off-site company-paid lunches
Thunkable has an unlimited vacation policy.
We cover 85% of medical, dental and vision coverage.
We will very shortly have a new, custom appointed, office near 2nd Street in San Francisco between Market and Mission Streets.
We provide relocation assistance for non-local hires.
Most of us are in the office between 10 and 5 but if your an early bird or like to burn the midnight oil, we are flexible. Similarly, if you need to work from home every once in a while to eliminate distractions, watch the kids or just keep your sanity, that's ok too.
