About the Team

We have a high-performing ALL-STAR culture and team and are headquartered in Lehi, UT. We offer a competitive compensation package including salary, bonus, health benefits, mandatory time off, and lots of flexibility.


The “Big Why” driving the company’s mission is to “connect and strengthen families”. Chatbooks co-founders Nate and Vanessa Quigley have deliberately created a company culture that supports employees' lives. Their goal is that everyone on the team can put this mission into practice in their own lives, whether that’s being flexible enough to go to a child’s dance recital and hit up the gym during lunch or having time off to recharge and travel the world.


Some of the recognitions we’ve received include the 2022 Top Workplaces USA, 2022 Fortune Best Medium Workplaces, 2022 Best Workplaces for Millennials Award, and 2022 Best Workplaces in Technology.


Chatbooks strives to be an employer-of-choice for women and parents by offering flexible working options, welcoming kids in the office, and strongly supporting women in leadership roles. Women currently make up 56% of the company’s leadership positions.


At Chatbooks, we have put incredible focus into building a team of high-performing “All-Stars.” All-Stars have six characteristics: Grown-Up (you manage yourself and your time & handle disagreements without drama), Ship (you get things out the door efficiently and manage shifting priorities), Amazing (your work is simply AMAZING!), Optimistic (you share solutions instead of problems), and Kind (you’re consistently kind to teammates and partners), Hungry (you feel the urgency to make progress and execute relentlessly). If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk!


We are very interested in every qualified candidate eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas. 

We are open for employment in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington.
