{DEVELOP} differently

Come as you are. At TechSmith, it’s about the work you do, not what you wear. Our dress code is laidback so everyone is comfortable and can focus on what matters most —helping our customers stand out and share what they know.

We’re all equal, really. Everyone at TechSmith is valued and accessible. Doors —and minds —are open. Your voice matters, not your title. Company leaders will know your name and are eager for your ideas. You are trusted and empowered to make decisions and get the job done.

{DEVELOP} together

As soon as you accept your role at TechSmith, you’re officially a “TechSmithie.” It’s like you’ve found your people —smart, fun, and slightly nerdy (OK, maybe a lot nerdy). Each TechSmithie adds their own unique spice to our ever-changing culture. What will you bring to the mix?
