Life at Carbon

Our mission is to enable creators everywhere to make what the world needs right now.

We are creating an idea-to-production platform of advanced materials, software, hardware, and services that is expanding what can be made and accelerating how smart ideas become real. We are solving hard problems to empower creators everywhere to develop better products faster, in ways not possible with traditional technologies. And we are building a global ecosystem that is opening up the world of manufacturing.

Carbon empowers creators to explore and realize their best ideas quickly. We are leading the way to a more open, connected, and sustainable world of manufacturing that will improve all our lives.

Our Commitment to Diversity

Our commitment to diversity extends beyond race and gender, and encapsulates geographies, perspectives, and personal interests. We will dedicate ourselves to growth, professionally and personally, understanding that meaningful change takes time and effort. We recognize this requires continuous transformation and we are committed to this very important journey.

Our DEI Vision

We believe that in order to create an aligned and unified Carbon, we must cultivate a culture of trust, respect and accountability — a catalyst for continued innovation.

Leveraging inclusive practices amplify greater access to opportunities for all and especially for marginalized communities that historically have been underrepresented in tech.

We have initiatives underway to help us achieve our strategic DEI goals. Progress is reviewed quarterly and goals and actions are updated annually.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs):

  • Exist as safe, supportive, and educational communities at Carbon
  • Promote the values of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Strategy
  • Create and embody the sense of belonging at Carbon for diverse groups

The ERGs are company-sponsored groups that are led by employees who come together based on shared characteristics or life experiences and include allies. We currently have three ERG’s at Carbon:

PR-IDE ERG
Our mission is to provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ members and allies to discuss current topics, as well as creating a community at Carbon for support, awareness, and advocacy.

Our Work Philosophy

We believe in the value of face-to-face connections and cross-team collaboration. The office is an important gathering place for connecting, brainstorming, collaborating, and information sharing. We believe this accelerates innovation and makes Carbon a great place to work.

We also want to build a company where employees can do their best work. We believe our future will continue to be a flexible model where some employees will not be in the office every day, as we recognize the need for continued flexibility in terms of how and when we work.

We believe some roles and functions can be fully or partially remote. These are defined based on the work that must be done and the level of collaboration required within and across teams.
