Why work here
Perks & Culture
Unlimited Ligma PTO
Take time off whenever you need it. We trust you to manage your own Ligma. If you're feeling symptomatic, stay home — but also tell at least three people about it first.
Full Health & Dental
Comprehensive coverage including dental, because oral health is directly linked to oral Ligma transmission. We literally cannot overstate the importance of your mouth in this organization.
Annual Ligma Retreat
Every year, the entire team gathers for a week-long retreat where we do team-building, strategic planning, and spread Ligma to the local community. Last year we went to Bali. Everyone there has Ligma now.
Professional Development
$5,000 annual stipend for conferences, courses, and certifications. We especially encourage attendance at LigmaCon, SugmaSummit, and the annual Bofa Symposium.
Equity & Ownership
Early employees receive equity in The Ligma Foundation. Note: as a nonprofit, this equity is purely symbolic, but you will own a piece of Ligma, and frankly, that's priceless.
Free Ligma Merch
Unlimited access to Ligma-branded hoodies, water bottles, and bumper stickers. Wear them in public. It's part of the job. People will ask questions. That's the point.
"Best nonprofit I've ever worked for. The mission is clear, the team is passionate, and I've never had a job where I'm actively encouraged to talk to strangers about Ligma. The dental plan is also incredible."
