Together we make. Come make with us.

Overview

About us.

At Cricut®, we believe that we’re all born makers. When we built our first cutting machine, we saw the potential for a simple yet powerful tool to completely transform the way people craft, design, and DIY. Since then, we continue to innovate with new machines, platforms, materials, and tools, but that’s just what we do. Who we are is a bustling worldwide community, a means for connection, and an outlet for unbridled creativity. Join us as we place the power of handmade into the hands of ALL.

Life

Love your work. And your coworkers.

Our company is made up of A+ human beings. We ask tough questions, entertain ideas outside of our own, and work together to make something bigger than ourselves. With Cricut® growing in China, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, as well as Europe and South America, we’re on an unstoppable roll, satisfying that innate creative itch around the world. We train, develop, and celebrate great work with hallway high fives and promotions within. We also throw the world’s best Halloween party.

Enjoy incredible perks.

We take care of our team. From outstanding medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits, to pet insurance, 401K match, life insurance, incentive programs, paid time off, on-site massages, phenomenal work-life balance, and employee discounts, we offer the best benefits package in the DIY consumer electronics industry. Period.

Like what you see? We can’t wait to meet you.

Come help us herd cats!  We are growing fast.  The business is doing new things, and our teams need sound legal guidance integrated into their decision-making processes.  We need someone rooted in his/her understanding of the law who can creatively help address the legal issues that confront a growing tech company.  And yes, we are a tech company – not just a crafting or scrapbook company.   You will ensure that company operates well within the bounds of the law, offer counsel on legal issues, create systems that act as an effective guardian of the organization and facilitate business strategy development.  Come help us grow a cool business that genuinely cares about the consumer – cares about making great products – cares about its own culture and way of working – and cares about doing business in the right way.   A compliance background is great, but we will prioritize someone is smart, hardworking, willing to learn, and fun to work with over simply experience.
