None of us will deny the fact that looking for a new job is exhausting. It takes time, patience, and a whole lot of scrolling online. As the saying goes, looking for a job is a full time job in itself. Given how tricky it can be, we wanted to help in some way, so that you can all find roles you genuinely love (the dream, right?)
We have been collaborating with Jobbio to bring you VentureBeat Jobs, a fantastic hub where some of the coolest companies in the world can advertise their roles, and land talent like yourself.
To get you started (and to give you a flavour of the kind of roles going at the moment), here are five really cool companies currently open for applications.

Outbrain creates the most engaging discovery experiences for people on the web with their Smartfeed technology on the world’s most well-recognized media companies — from MSN, CNN, BBC, and The Washington Post to The Guardian and Sky News. Technology is Outbrain’s driver, and what makes their content world go ‘round. From the complex set of algorithms to its prioritized Interest Graph, Outbrain’s system pairs content with readers who will find it most engaging and relevant.

To support their people better, they have equipped teams with desks and chairs to set up home office spaces, while also providing a monthly stipend to cover the additional cost of working from home. They are encouraging all to invest in themselves by providing a corporate-sponsored fitness budget, mental health support (through therapy, mindfulness exercises, and apps), and organizing company-wide timeouts. Zwift is embracing remote work culture and is continuing to grow by hiring employees who are committed to permanent remote work — even when it is safe to return to one of their beautifully redesigned offices in Southern California, London, or Rio de Janeiro.
