Employment

Saffire Events has offices in Austin, Texas and Portland, Oregon.

We are growing and always looking for talent to join our team. If you're smart, quick and love a good funnel cake, we hope you'll reach out to us.

Why Saffire?

Without sounding braggy, we've done custom websites since 1995, and we've worked with some big brands like KEEN Footwear, Nike, Jeep, Chrysler, Panasonic and Intel, as well as many smaller brands we've helped to grow. We've won lots of awards, generated lots of revenue and changed the lives of many clients.

Now we've taken all we've learned in these industries and put it into a new software platform for fairs, festivals and rodeos. Wouldn't it be cool to be a part of something like that? Plus, our customers love us.

We offer a full range of benefits, but the most important one is a fun and casual work environment where you actually get to work with good people who actually care about you. Sometimes they show they care by bringing cookies, which we encourage.

Here's what we have available at the moment:
