Careers at Wax
Current Openings
WE ARE LUCKY. Our specialized client base has allowed us incredible opportunity to develop and hone nimble systems that work not just for launch, but over time. Seamless and elegant solutions—visual, CMS, full-stack—within a specific niche: authors. We get the best of two worlds: web development and the book business. Work is never dull.
If you:
-
- Thrive on working in a team-based, collaborative environment (yes, even over zoom),
- Strive to keep learning and developing instead of just applying what you already know, and
- Want to escape the corporate, in-house, highly-specialized workday,
…you will love working here.

EXPECTED OF THE WHOLE TEAM:
- Expertly execute, follow, and develop internal and client strategy.
- Follow established internal standards. All our projects need to have very similar syntax and structure.
- Carry a critical understanding of digital tools and trends, and be confident and articulate in suggesting ways such trends can be practically applied.
- Communicate effectively: visual, verbal, and the written word. This includes parsing out directives from lengthy documents like this one.
- Show a fierce sense of ownership about the quality of the work you call Done. (You might be surprised as to how many folks don’t take the time to check their work.)
SOME OF WHAT WE OFFER:
- VARIETY: From site design, development, and maintenance, to book cover design and assorted print work — also product support, copywriting, social networking strategies, quality assurance, usability concerns, and just generally being in code warrior mode — there really just isn’t room to get bored.
- BENEFITS: We believe everyone needs time for the business of life. For us, full-time means ~4.5 day weeks. Also paid holiday/sick/vacation days; a 401K; commuter checks; health insurance… the usual suspects — but also visual insurance. And part-time employees still get some of the above.
- FLEXIBILITY: Wax believes in living your life rather than forcing it around work, and thus offers scheduling flexibility and liberal unpaid leave time as deadlines permit.
