I’ve chosen to be a Hubber because of GitHub’s remote work culture, allowing me to balance work, dedicate quality time with my family and my dog, and prioritize my health, well-being and personal development. And I cherish the support for diverse learning, from job-related skills to enriching pursuits like singing or finance classes."

Be yourself
Each Hubber has unique interests and life goals. We’re serious about building GitHub around your life—not the other way around.
Create your space. Get reimbursed for items related to communications and home office equipment and outfit your home office so you have what you need to do your best work.
Stay curious. Pursue personal and job-related education via our combined Learning, Remote Life, and Wellness account.
Prioritize what matters to you. Our reimbursement account covers expenses from gym memberships to tax prep, financial wellness services, pet care, and more. It’s your decision.
Individuals have different accessibility requirements. We provide access to assistive technologies and flexible benefits are designed to create workspaces that meet your needs.
Life happens. We have a flexible time off policy that supports you being present for whatever life throws at you.
I love the learning, wellness, and remote benefits at GitHub. They've helped me develop new skills and discover new hobbies, such as sailing. It's wonderful to work for a company that values work-life balance and professional growth."
