Join the Phaze Team and help make the best remote desktop software in the world
We are a New York City and Salt Lake City based team. While our ambitions expand to much more, right now, we are focused on building the best remote desktop software to access workstations for 3D and CAD software. Check out our jobs if you want to be on a high-performance team that focuses on solving customer challenges, releases only when we exceed our high expectations of ourselves, believes momentum is fun, doesn't tolerate the BS of normal companies, adapts to new information and feedback seamlessly, and truly enjoys the art of building great products and companies.
At Phaze, we build things that people depend on, iterate with our customers, and thrive on their feedback (positive or negative). By going deep, solving obscure technical challenges, eliminating unnecessary dependencies, and focusing on the simplest solutions, we believe we can convert that feedback into world-class products. We stay focused on getting the work done, make sure we are proud of what we create, commit to improving ourselves and our product at each iteration, and have fun knowing that we put all of our energy into this. We don’t use the latest and greatest tools just to use them - we introduce new dependencies when it helps us achieve something for our customers. We want every person who works at Phaze to look back on their time here and know that it was one of the best professional experiences of their career and that they are a better engineer because of it.
Ideal candidates:
- Care about deep understanding. Rather than adding a dependency to solve your problem, you’d prefer to learn how that dependency works – and then write it yourself.
- Care about fit and finish. A job isn’t finished when you’ve checked off every box, but when you can look at your work and feel proud of it.
- Care about the customer. You’re not building this for fun – though you can definitely have fun building it! You’re doing it to make the life of the person using Phaze better.

What you’ll do at Phaze
If you’re passionate about networking technologies, this is the perfect opportunity to own a protocol that millions of people will depend on.
