Join us on our mission to help the best products win.


It's often said that:


The best products don't win, the ones with the best distribution do.


We're doing something about that. Blanket gives the best products an unfair advantage by giving them access to the best distribution.

The first problem we're solving on our way to fulfill that mission is to automate the Sales Development process. That's prospecting, reaching out, crafting collateral, and booking sales demos.

We're looking for teammates that need to see their work have an immediate impact, and enjoy fast-paced and high-growth environments. Join us and play a crucial part in building a platform that some of the most respected companies use to increase their sales.

What we value


We’re building a teammate centric and remote-first company that recruits the best talent regardless of location, background, or gender.


We consider our work to be our craft. We're driven by progress, getting a little bit better at what we do every single day. We value working openly and transparently because it helps maintain and scale our culture.


We're likely not a good fit if you


  • Seek comfort
  • Feel best around teams with a clear hierarchy
  • Find that teams work best when people stick to their job descriptions ("I probably shouldn't do that, that's not my job")
  • Think hustle and hard work are overrated
  • Feel that you're at a skill level that you're complacent with
  • Think that remote teams don't work as well as having everyone in the same office

  • Enjoy big-reveal moments after working siloed on a project
