Job description

About OXMAN

We are a design company advancing the unification of top-down design engineering with bottom-up biological growth toward the mutual empowerment of Nature and Humanity. Our work spans coproduction, cohabitation, and communication. We build systems where Nature and humans co-create as one. The Opportunity We are always looking for pioneers. Our teams operate at the intersection of design, technology, biology, ecology, and engineering, and the most original work tends to happen where those fields meet. True innovation rarely fits neatly into a standard job title. If you are an interdisciplinary thinker drawn to building what has not been built before, we want to know you. Even if you do not see an open role that matches your background right now, this is the place to raise your hand.

Who You Are

  • You operate at the intersection of disciplines that rarely speak to one another.
  • You are passionate about solving complex, systemic problems that impact both the built and natural environments.
  • You have a portfolio, research, or body of work that demonstrates your ability to unite top-down engineering with bottom-up principles.

How to Connect We keep this process incredibly light so we can focus on your actual work, not administrative forms. Please complete and submit the "Application" section to provide us with your details. We query this talent pool first every time a new initiative or specialized role opens up.

Why work at OXMAN

  • Mission-Driven Culture: A clear, bold vision to heal the rift between Nature and humanity. Work is framed as a "calling" with profound impact.
  • Interdisciplinary Excellence: Opportunity to work at the intersection of design, engineering, biology, and computation with a world-class team.
  • Creative & Intellectual Freedom: Emphasis on taking risks, exploring "impossible" challenges, and pursuing profound questions.
  • Values: The company culture emphasizes integrity, empathy, mediation of dichotomies (design/R&D, made/grown), balancing the timely and timeless, and pursuing the profound.
  • Work Environment: Based in a first-of-its-kind atelier, workshop, and lab in New York City, designed by Foster + Partners.
  • Team Composition: Small (~24 people), highly specialized team with backgrounds from MIT Media Lab, top universities, and leading design/tech firms. Emphasis on self-direction and collaboration across disciplines.
  • Location: New York City (HQ) with presence in France. Hybrid/office policy not explicitly stated but likely in-person given the lab/workshop nature.
