Empowering your passion

As researchers, we understand your unwavering desire to find solutions and share them with the world.

Collaboration and camaraderie

At the core of our culture you’ll find our amazing people. Whether you join one of our technical teams or non-technical teams, our emphasis is always on “team.” As a Kitwarean you might collaborate with world leaders in scientific research and software development, help organize a social event outside the office, or gather in our kitchen during our monthly wing day – no matter what, we enjoy working together and having fun while we do it.

Owning a part of Kitware and its success

Kitware is proud to be a 100% employee-owned business. All of the company’s shares are held in an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) on behalf of Kitware employees. This demonstrates our commitment to an employee-centric culture and helps us retain flexibility and sustainability as an independent company. Not to mention, it allows employees to share in Kitware’s financial success.

Life outside the office

Kitware is located in five geographical areas that each offer unique and exciting activities. Whether you are looking to pursue an outdoor hobby, get immersed into cultural arts, or discover new family activities, our offices are central to some of the most interesting places on the planet.

Diversity and inclusion

Great ideas come from everywhere. We welcome diverse knowledge, diverse cultures, and diverse experiences. Unique perspectives help us advance our understanding of the world. Learn about our new Open Door Scholarship to help advance career opportunities for aspiring computer scientists in the Black community.

An environment that fuels you

Working on our projects is challenging. Getting dressed for work shouldn’t be. That’s why we encourage Kitwareans to dress comfortably, and everyone receives an annual allowance for branded Land’s End logo wear. Our offices are outfitted with ergonomic equipment that includes standing desks, comfortable chairs, sometimes an exercise ball, and even a treadmill or two.
