At Dame Products, we create community-tested toys and supportive resources to connect people with their sexual pleasure. We see pleasurable sex as intrinsic to overall health, so we’re shaping pathways to heightened wellbeing by nourishing experimentation, education, and conversation. This role will primarily be based in our plant-filled, Brooklyn office. Our lab is fully stocked with the tools (and snacks) needed to make our pleasure tools. During builds in the product development cycle, you can expect to come in up to five days a week. Outside of builds, you are able to come to the office as little or as frequently as you need to facilitate your designs. We’re an equal opportunity employer. As champions of pleasure for all, we nurture an inclusive, vibrant workplace culture and consider all applicants for employment, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.
