Who We Are 📖
Threadable is a passionate team of former academics and tech enthusiasts who won’t shut up about a good book. We are on a mission to transform books into dynamic spaces for conversation. We lower the volume on the internet, so you and your friends have a more intimate digital space to read and discuss together. The big social media platforms are great for hot takes and status updates, but they were not built to facilitate meaningful discussion. By anchoring conversations in the pages of books, Threadable lets readers and experts come together to make connections between books and the world.
Our Values 👩🏽🏫
At Threadable, we celebrate hard work and dedication as the cornerstones of our success, as we believe in the power of perseverance and commitment to achieve our goals. We cherish openness and friendliness, fostering an environment where everyone feels heard and valued. Empathy and compassion are integral to our ethos, as we understand that every member of our team is an individual with unique needs and experiences. Most importantly, we embrace the spirit of fun, recognizing that a joyful and creative atmosphere not only enhances productivity but also makes our journey together truly enjoyable.

Our Interview Process👨🏻💻
We acknowledge the challenges posed by onerous and lengthy interview processes and are committed to being as efficient as possible and respectful of your time. If we decide to move forward after you apply, there will be a short 15-30 min. phone screen. This is an opportunity for us to ask you some questions and get to know you a little more. After that, we’ll send you information about a small design problem we’re working through to be discussed at our longer 45-60 min. group interview. This is an opportunity for you to see what it’s like working with us and for us to learn more about how you approach and think about a problem.
