Maximize your impact on the world
At Marco Polo, we’re reimagining social connection through our popular video chat app,
designed to help millions of people connect authentically. That’s our purpose – to
help people feel close – and we do it without engaging in practices that harm our
community.

“Helping people feel close requires our commitment to building a trustworthy app
that nourishes their well-being and relationships.”
Fully remote,
deeply connected
Since the beginning, our company and our culture were built around being remote-first,
remote-always. We know how to create effective, relationship-driven teams that
collaborate seamlessly and operate on trust. It’s who we’ve always been, and it’s how
we’re moving forward.

Company values
These values are our set of guiding principles – how decisions are made, what we
look for in hiring, and how we behave, individually and together.
Belonging
You value all aspects of diversity and treat everyone with respect. You actively seek ways to co-create an environment where everyone feels safe to be vulnerable and honest. You give feedback open-heartedly and with grace, and assume the same when you receive it.
Humility
You seek differing opinions and new information to put what you think you know to the test, both in your work and work relationships. You approach projects with curiosity and are unafraid to update your thinking when you know more.
Joy
You’re attuned to how joyful you feel and how joyful it is to work with you. You take responsibility for your self-care, work relationships, and anything that impacts your ability to work joyfully. You find ways to add more joy, from investing in relationships with co-workers to taking part in company traditions in ways that feel authentic to you.
Ownership
You act like an owner and take responsibility for your team’s outcomes as well as their tasks. You proactively seek alignment with others to maximize our collective impact.
Purpose
You believe in our purpose (helping people feel close), and are energized to work hard and do what it takes to maximize its impact on the world.
Velocity
You define the most impactful outcome and you take the shortest path to achieve it. And you actively identify what that means in every situation, carefully avoiding false trade-offs (e.g. quality vs speed).
A holistic approach to benefits
We believe in continuous learning and improvement, recognition of a job well done, and balance, flexibility, and compassion.
