Experience Inc. Jobs

The world's a lot different than it was 20 years ago. Work has changed. It's more collaborative, more asynchronous, more expressive. It's also way more complex. Working groups have evolved from small teams in a single company, to diverse hybrid teams consisting of contributors from different companies in different time zones that, sometimes, even speak different languages.

In Teams we have a bold ambition: To make communication and collaboration as simple as sending a text. Imagine a lawyer being able to send a collaborative document to their client, complete with a DocuSign workflow to have it approved and notarized. Picture a world where your small business can respond to clients outside of working hours with rich answers provided by AI.

We in Teams believe in this mission and have the global power and reach to accomplish it in ways unlike any one else. It is our team's mission to connect all individuals and organizations in ways that provide collaboration without barriers. People are always at the center, and we humanize our experiences in ways that allow expression of personality -- even across time zones and the digital divide.
