Now that we’ve successfully made our way around the sun once again, you may have decided to kick off the year by looking for a new job. But we know how intimidating it can be to browse the hundreds of open Colorado startup jobs out there.
So, let us help you narrow it down. If a new career is in the cards this year, we’ve hand-selected seven companies looking to grow their teams in 2017.
What they do: CANVAS is building the future — literally. They’re working on autonomous (read: self-driving) vehicles designed to operate indoors. Think robots moving objects around a warehouse alongside workers, safely and efficiently.
Perks: Snacks, unlimited vacation and an office along the Boulder bike path.
Hiring manager tip: “We look for people who are exceptionally bright who demonstrate intense curiosity both in the interview and in their lives,” said Sandra McQueen, co-founder and VP of Marketing. “People who are stars but are comfortable playing on a team. And, of course, building one of the world's most advanced autonomous systems should light them up!”

We are not just another digital agency; we focus on a single vertical and have an outstanding reputation in our space that everyone here is invested in.”
What they do: The Trade Desk’s platform supports media buyers in the ad agency. They handle more than four trillion (yes, trillion) requests every month — that’s a lot of data. Their technology helps advertisers manage campaigns across social, video, TV and display media.

Open positions: Among the roles posted, The Trade Desk expects to have multiple openings for their software development engineer, senior front-end engineer, senior software development engineer, DevOps and database administrator roles.

They should have a natural curiosity about things and seek out new problems to solve. Collaboration and communication are huge here at The Trade Desk. Our offices are filled with respectful people who help out one another and are kind to each other.”
What they do: One of Colorado’s largest companies, Arrow manages logistics and supply chain management of electronics parts worldwide.
