Culture Is Our Best Product

We are passionate about building solutions based on open source software and understand that our employees are core to the products we make, the customers we support, and the open source communities we serve. We are positive and supportive in our work environment, whether in the office or online; and believe in helping each other with openness, honesty and respect. Activators have the opportunity to continually innovate, pursue passion projects and grow their careers.

Collaborate from Anywhere in the World with Virtual Meet-ups and Check-ins

ActiveState supports a “work from anywhere” approach that gives Activators the freedom to pick the location they find most comfortable. We provide all the hardware and software needed to ensure Activators can be productive, wherever they work. Working in the office? In these days of COVID, we help make sure you can maintain physical distancing. Working from home? Our daily virtual huddles and Slack check-ins keep us motivated.
