About CloudBees

CloudBees is a globally distributed company approaching 400 employees in over 15 countries working together to invent a new category of software–one that automates the delivery of software.

As Software takes over the world, every business is becoming a software business. And every software business is under relentless pressure to innovate constantly, at higher velocity, without increased business risk.  As today’s clear leader in CI/CD (continuous integration and continuous delivery), CloudBees is uniquely positioned to define and lead this new category and is expanding its product and engineering organization in order to do so.

Working at CloudBees

Because CloudBees is a fully distributed company, it is able to draw on a global talent pool and maintain a very high bar for intellect, technical skill and most importantly work culture. Nearly every “Bee” has chosen to work at CloudBees because of a personal conviction of the transformative power of continuous delivery practices in every function in software development.  This leads to a sense of shared mission and mutual respect that makes CloudBees a truly special place to work.
