THE COMPANY 

Founded in 2010, SpaceCraft was built from scratch right here in Austin, TX with a simple mission to help customers create beautifully effective websites. The company emerged as an early innovator in the space by incorporating responsive design and easy to use editing tools, and in the years since has continued to bring new product to market faster than its larger counterparts by nurturing a culture of continuous improvement within its lean engineering team. 

Today, Spacecraft has roughly 25 employees spread across product, operations, support, and sales, and offers competitive rewards packages and a casual work environment in a modern office space, located right in the heart of downtown Austin.
