- Want Work?
Omni is always looking for good people, although we often don't have specific slots to fill, and we tend to be very selective about the people we hire. We consistently have more work than we can do, so we're on the lookout to augment our team. But since our first priority is assembling a team that is smart, capable, and fun to work with, we aren't setting arbitrary deadlines or conditions for hiring.
Please send your resume to resumes@omnigroup.com if you're someone who is interested in living in Seattle and working for Omni. We currently aren't hiring people who want to work as independent contractors, or at remote sites. (Don't send your resume in a format which we can't read with Mac OS X. In particular, don't send a Microsoft Word document: export to PDF or HTML and send that instead. Word documents don't even get opened. Read the job posting to see if the hiring manager has any additional requirements; if so, please comply with them.)
Don't see something on this page that applies to you? Please feel free to send us your resume anyway. We are always interested in resumes from interesting people with interesting skills, and sometimes we create a position for someone who sends in a particularly intriguing resume. Don't refrain from sending a resume if you think you offer something that will grab our collective attention.
If you send us a resume by email, we will send you an automatic acknowledgment. Otherwise, you will only hear from us if we are interested in pursuing a relationship with you. (Oh, and if you fail to follow the specific instructions for applying for a job, your resume may be deleted unread. So please read the job postings carefully and give the hiring managers what they ask for.)
Omni is passionate about making productivity fun by giving people the best available tools. We spent our first decade working on consulting projects to help the best development environment survive and thrive, and through our second decade we've built a suite of distinctive productivity applications which have won three Macworld Editors' Choice awards, a MacUser UK "Maxine" award, and four Apple Design awards.
The Omni Group is a really great but non-traditional place to work, and our compensation packages reflect that. We offer the usual range of traditional benefits to employees:
- Bonuses: We pay bonuses when our revenues and profitability allow it. Some years, it's a lot of money, and when we have an unprofitable year, it's not.
- Stock options.
- Full health coverage.
- Vision and dental coverage.
When we founded this business we knew that we were going to spend a ton of time here, so basic survival dictated that it should be fun as well as easy to work in. To those ends, we also have some less traditional benefits:
- Omni has a professional chef. Dinner is at five-thirty every weeknight. Bring your SO if you like. If you find eating at the office to be impractical, Omni provides 'to-go' boxes so that you can pack up your dinner.
- Massage (one hour every two weeks for salaried employees)
- Omni has a home theater system, and a library of movies employees can check out when they're not in the office.
- We have a whole mess of console video game systems, both current and old-school: the most recent acquisition being our Wii. We have a dedicated A/V system for the games, so someone can watch Battlestar Galactica while someone else plays Burnout. Let's not forget to mention our Apple IIe and Atari 800, for when you absolutely must play a game of Lode Runner, Mule, or Star Raiders.
Don't get the impression all we do is goof around, though: we do a lot of work here. Being willing to work hard to make Omni successful is a requirement, always. Doing what we do, and doing it the way we choose to, is not easy.
Omni is located in rainy Seattle, possibly the most beautiful city in North America. The air here is still clean, the people still friendly, local brands are still more popular than national brands, music festivals still feel like they are for the people.
You must be the sort of person who can see the glamor in any project if it helps Omni to succeed! We are looking for someone who is smart, but not conceited. If you think you know all the answers, we're not interested. If you think you know some of the questions, send us a resume. We don't put up with big individual egos, although we fully admit to having a big collective ego. You must be a team player. You must, must, must be self-motivating.
We don't discriminate based on anything that would upset you, like race, age, sex, religion, or sexual preference. We won't hire anyone who's on the planet without a visa, though.
Having recently moved to a new larger office, The Omni Group finally has room to grow again! We don't have a hiring deadline or a specific position to fill; we are content to wait until the right person comes along.
If you love design and coding, if you need to work with a team of talented and dedicated peers, and if you'd like to help us grow great software, Omni may be the place for you.
We don't have specific requirements, but some generalities include:- A demonstrated ability to ship beautiful and compelling applications on Mac OS X
- One or more areas of development where you feel like a superstar, even if you aren't brash enough to brag about it publicly
- Fun to be around and work with; we spend a lot of time together and we should all enjoy it
If you aren't a master coder today, start sharpening your skills! We plan on slowly hiring developers over the next couple years now that we have more space to grow.
Take a look at what Omni's like and then email us a resumé and something from your portfolio of personal code to resumes@omnigroup.com. Include the phrase "senior coder" in the subject line. Please use plain text, HTML, RTF or PDF. We try to be a green company, so if you include a different format, we'll recycle the included bits, but that'll be the end of it. No phone calls or pounding on our front door, please.
Note: We have various animals in the office, including a cat, a bird, and several dogs during the day. If that bothers you, you probably won't like working at Omni!
Omni is an equal opportunity employer with a non-discrimination policy that we care about and follow. We give preference to people who already have the right to work in the US. This position is located in our Seattle office, in Interbay, just south of Ballard. We're not looking for remote employees. (For the right candidate, we can assist with moving expenses if you don't currently live near Seattle.)
