WordPress doesn’t try to keep its users inside walled gardens, a rare thing in a world that is dangerously moving away from the open web. Instead, WordPress gives them the freedom to build a business website, an online store, or a personal blog – the way they like it. Big sites or small, using the community-run open source project or Automattic’s WordPress.com, vanilla or customised with hundreds of plugins, WordPress users always get to own and control their data, their expression, and their freedom.What have we worked on recently?<ul><li>Gutenberg is a new block-level editor with clean abstractions for users, too, not just developers.</li><li>Jetpack is a plugin that brings cloud-scale features to self-hosted sites and our latest addition is Rewind, think git for WordPress sites.</li><li>WooCommerce is the most popular e-commerce platform on the web.</li><li>To view more of our recent work, check out our longer product list on Automattic.com.</li></ul>How do we work?<ul><li>We’re kind to each other and our users – we strive to build a positive, supportive, and inclusive culture of cohesive teams focused on delivering value to our customers.</li><li>We work as a global and distributed workforce resulting in a unique way of working built around our creed. </li><li>We offer flexible work arrangements allowing our team members to work when they feel best.</li><li>We open-source!
