Medium’s mission is to help people deepen their understanding of the world and discover ideas that matter.

We are creating the best place for reading and writing on the internet—a place where today’s smartest writers, thinkers, experts, and storytellers can share big, interesting ideas.
We believe that people are key to the success of our business. We take that seriously by building a People Operations team that is comprised of experienced HR professionals who can launch and lead forward-thinking initiatives that enable our employees to be highly creative and productive.
