Life at Panopto
At Panopto, we believe that video can have a transformative effect on learning. So we build a video platform that helps businesses and universities improve the way that they train, teach, and share knowledge.
Today, we have nearly 100 employees in six offices around the world. We serve an audience of over 5 million end users. And we’ve received industry recognition for our innovation, our rapid growth, and our company culture.
Speaking of culture, we believe we’ve struck the perfect balance between scrappy startup and established enterprise. We have many of the great benefits and resources of larger companies, yet we move quickly and have the tightly-knit team and casual atmosphere you find at great startups.
We’ve just scratched the surface of what’s possible with video learning. So we’re always looking for down-to-earth, smart people who love to roll up their sleeves and get stuff done in the face of big, exciting challenges.
