Deeply human-centered and mission-driven, you're excited to create digital experiences that strengthen real-world connections and empower neighbors and the businesses that serve them to build stronger communities.

At Nextdoor, we operate in an AI-first environment and expect every team member to actively use AI tools as part of their workflow.

We also offer a warm and inclusive work environment that embraces a hybrid employment model, blending an in office presence and work from home experience for our valued employees.
