Instrument is a remote-first digital product and brand experience agency with a team of over 200 talented individuals, organized across four specialized teams. Each team brings its expertise to life through best-in-class work, crafting transformative experiences for our clients. Our shift to a fully remote model has opened new doors for creativity, flexibility, and stronger client relationships. This approach not only strengthens our culture but also allows us to embrace diverse voices, perspectives, and ideas.
We’re passionate about career growth, personal support, and work-life balance—values that are central to everything we do. At Instrument, we foster a culture of safety and belonging that empowers people, celebrates their unique talents, and fuels innovation. We believe our differences make us stronger, and we’re dedicated to cultivating a workplace that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. Instrument is an equal opportunity workplace - we are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity/expression, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements.
We will work to ensure individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation throughout the hiring process and in the workplace. These adjustments ensure that individuals with disabilities have an equal opportunity not only to get a job, but successfully perform their job tasks to the same extent as people without disabilities.
Here, we strive to provide the support, connections, and encouragement to do your best work. Come join us and help create the future!
