Job Summary
VirBELA envisions one world, achieving together. We bring our vision to life by offering virtual reality office experiences. The technology enables companies to grow and scale without the costs associated with brick-and-mortar offices and hire the best talent no matter where they may be located.
While our experience is novel, it's proven. Our largest client experienced over 1,600% growth in 3 years. Since adopting VirBELA instead of brick-and-mortar offices for its now remote workforce of 24,000+, it was named one of the Best Places to Work by Glassdoor in 2018 and 2019.
