Sometimes when you meet someone in your community, you just CLICK. Everything aligns with regards to ethics, morals, values, world-view. It’s rare in the professional realm- and don’t get me wrong- we like to be challenged in our world view, but when you meet someone with THAT much alignment, it’s important to foster that connection.
Neither Analiese Brown, VP of People at Campminder, nor I remember exactly when we met but we both believe it was about a decade ago. We have long been looking for an opportunity to work together to build teams that LOVE what they do. We are both passionate about fostering the growth of amazing company cultures especially in the SaaS realm.
We’ll – that day has come. We’re thrilled to be partnering with our friends at Campminder, a 22 year old (GASP) profitable software company that’s doing great things in software to make the world a better place.
As evidence of the great work Analiese, Antonio, Bryan and the rest of their team are doing at Campminder – they have consistently been on Best Companies to work for lists and their Glassdoor ratings are an incredible 4.9 out of 5 stars.
We delineate all the specifics of their mission, their core values, their teams and of course the technical challenges that you’d be able to embrace, while growing personally and professionally on this growing team.

Headquartered in Boulder, CO we do recognize the freedom and flexibility of both hybrid and remote work environments while still allowing for a highly collaborative work environment.
Candidates should generally be available during 9-5 MST and expect on-call rotations as in any DevOps related role.
With this in mind, as an organization we are open to accommodating whatever best suits your needs in a fully remote and/or in office capacity.
We encourage individuals of all backgrounds to apply:
We’re actively taking steps to make sure our culture is inclusive and that our processes and practices promote equity for all, including people of color, people from working-class backgrounds, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. We welcome and encourage applications from people with these identities or members of other historically marginalized groups.
Research shows that women and people of color tend not to apply to jobs unless they believe they are 100% qualified and apply to fewer senior-level positions. With that in mind, we encourage you to apply if you’re not sure whether you meet our qualifications. We’d love to have the opportunity to consider you!
We encourage applications from parents, parents-to-be, and those responsible for the caretaking of others. We offer paid parental leave for birthing and non-birthing parents (including for adoption, surrogacy, and foster care placement) and paid loss leave to recover from miscarriage or stillbirth. The company’s HSA and wellness allowance contributions may be used towards childcare, eldercare, adoption fees and fertility treatments like IVF among other expenses.
