    In Closing:
    We hope you are excited about everything you read so far.

    We highly encourage you to apply for this position, even if you feel you do not meet all the requirements.

    Quizlet is always looking for amazing folks that believe in our mission and can contribute to our team in various ways - not merely candidates that fit a certain mold.

We make informed decisions whenever possible but are unafraid to take calculated risks on great ideas to promote learning. We embrace challenges and see effort as the path to mastery. We're constantly seeking opportunities to learn and we embrace curiosity. Quality matters at Quizlet, and we hold the bar high on everything we do.

    We treat each other with honesty and respect, encourage vigorous debate, and seek critical feedback.

    We value diversity, humility, transparency, and collaboration as the best paths to our success — as individuals, as a team, and as a company.

    Quizlet's success as an online learning community depends on a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

    We are actively working to build a team that is representative of the diverse communities we serve, and an open, inclusive work environment where all employees can thrive.

    As an equal opportunity employer and a tech company committed to societal change, we welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply. Come join us
