We love creating amazing products in a fulfilling and positive way. Do you?
Located in beautiful, rainy, extremely beautiful Portland, Oregon, we're an independent software company with about 30 employees and a lot going on. Founded in 1997 as a fully self-funded, independent, and sustainable business, our award-winning macOS and iOS apps, thoughtful games, and a brand new game platform are loved by users around the world.
Our product philosophy: to create absolute best-of-class applications and tools that people need to use every day, and to experiment with new and uncertain ideas that can generate inspiration. Balancing both keeps our work interesting.
We currently ship a very powerful web development IDE for macOS; Prompt, a wonderful SSH client for iOS, macOS, and visionOS; and Transmit, the most powerful app for transferring files on macOS. We also publish video games — Firewatch in 2016, Untitled Goose Game in 2019, and Nour in 2024, with many others on the way. On top of all that, we make a handheld video game console called Playdate.

In addition to base salary, we offer all employees:
- Participation in twice-yearly profit sharing bonuses

We're located in Portland, Oregon, and are hiring only for in-person positions.
Inclusion & Diversity
Today, our team (and often our industry) is missing the voices of a lot of people who could make our wonderful apps even better. We want that to change. We want to broaden our team to include folks whose diverse backgrounds and experiences will inspire and guide our products to new heights. We highly encourage women, people of color, and other resilient populations to apply for our open positions. We work hard to foster an environment at Panic that empowers individuality, empathy, and innovation, and we’re looking forward to what you’ll bring to the table.
Encouragement
Did you read our qualifications and feel like you’re really close to being a perfect fit, but maybe you’re missing one? Or do you have incredible skills but haven't been feeling super confident lately? Push through. Please consider applying regardless. None of us at Panic are perfect geniuses or have it together 100% at all times — we’re all just doing the best job we can, and we're confident you can do that too.
