What’s it like at JLS?

  1. Be Yourself: No need for a fake professional persona. You can be yourself here—no stuffy language, formal dress codes, or pretending to be someone you're not. Feel free to chat openly with the CEO—no one will blink an eye.

  2. Huge Growth Opportunities: We're not just a small business—we’re aiming for 9 figures in the next few years. If you show talent, you'll move up quickly, no matter your credentials. What matters is what you get done. If you're smart, driven, and capable, we’ll keep handing you more responsibility (and pay) until you say “enough!”

  3. No BS Culture: We value directness—everyone’s expected to call out the CEO (or anyone else) when they're wrong. We hate bureaucracy and unnecessary rules. Actually, it’s mandatory to tell the CEO to go “you-know-what” within your first two weeks. (Seriously.)

  4. Work/Life Balance: If you’re working more than 45 hours a week consistently, you’ll get a friendly reminder that you need to rest. We want you at your best, which means downtime is a priority.

  5. Fully Remote: 100% remote work—no commuting, just focused work and time to unwind with your dog, all from the comfort of your home (pants optional). Note: Not applicable to inventory/manufacturing jobs.

  6. No Micro-Management: Once you’re trained and proven yourself, we stay out of your way. If you need constant oversight, this isn’t the place for you.

  7. Flexible Hours: Most jobs offer flexible hours. Want to work four 10-hour days or catch up on weekends? You got it. Need time off for personal reasons? No problem. Start your day at 10 AM like our founder (who naps daily)? You’ll fit right in.

  8. Supportive Team: We don’t thrive on stress or impossible deadlines. The team is here to help you succeed, and internal politics are minimal. Everyone works hard, but we’re always ready to lend a hand if you need it.

  9. No Dress Code: Technically, clothes are required, but we haven't had anyone truly test that rule yet, so it's basically nonexistent.

  10. No Toxic People: We screen out bad vibes early, and if any toxic person slips through, we act fast. Enjoy working without having to deal with difficult coworkers.

  11. Regular Feedback & One-on-Ones: You’ll have regular check-ins with your manager, either weekly or semi-weekly, depending on your role. We’ll give you honest feedback—if you’re messing up, you’ll know, but when you’re doing great, we’ll let you know, too.

  12. We Invest in You: We want you to constantly improve. You’ll be learning new skills and encouraged to invest time in making your processes easier, faster, and better.

Are You Ready for This?

  • Tired of not being able to make all the hilarious dick jokes your heart desires?
  • Love creating something from scratch, especially if it’s going to make someone laugh?
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, no-nonsense environment free from all the typical corporate BS?

If you answered yes to any of those, then we might just be the place for you—though fair warning, you may find it sickening how awesome our company is. We have a super chill group of competent, genuinely nice people who don’t put up with jerks. Seriously, it's almost gross how pleasant everyone is.

Why Us?

We’re fully remote, we’ve got insanely flexible hours, and people here are judged by their output—not how much they suck up to the boss. Employee turnover is low because we know happy employees = happy customers = happy bank accounts. Honestly, it’s a little disturbing how well it works.

Is This a Real Job Ad?

Yep! This isn’t a pyramid scheme, and we’re actually paying to post this on multiple job sites. Oh, and our founder just started paying everyone with actual money instead of Pizza Hut coupons—yep, we’re that big time.

Our career page? Definitely worth checking out (it even won an award in 1993). We’re a big deal, people.

What Do We Do?

We sell all sorts of random things, but our focus right now is developing and engineering hilarious products from scratch in a variety of niches. Here are a few of our gems:

We’re growing fast, and to keep up, we need some great people.

What’s the Company Like?

  1. Be Yourself: No need for fake professional personas. You can talk smack to the CEO (and we encourage it). No dressing up, no formal language—just be you.

  2. Huge Growth Opportunities: We’re aiming for $100 million a year soon, and we promote fast if you’ve got the talent. Credentials don’t matter—results do.

  3. Fully Remote & Flexible Hours: Work from home in your pajamas on your schedule. Want to work 10-hour days, 4 days a week, or catch up on the weekend? Totally up to you.

  4. Work/Life Balance: If you’re consistently working over 45 hours a week, we’ll remind you to rest. We want you at your best.

  5. No BS: If the CEO’s wrong, say so. We don’t let bureaucracy or unnecessary rules get in the way of getting things done.

  6. No Micro-Management: Once you’re trained and have shown you know your stuff, we’ll let you run with it. If you need constant oversight, this might not be the place for you.

  7. No Toxic/Incompetent People: We make sure to keep out anyone who’s mean or dumb. If someone sneaks through, we fire them fast. No bad apples here.

  8. Supportive Environment: No unreasonable deadlines or stress. Everyone’s got your back, and internal politics are kept to a minimum.

  9. Raises, Baby: We don’t wait for you to ask for a raise—we give them proactively. It’s not uncommon to get 2+ raises per year.

  10. We Invest in You: We want you to always improve. You’ll learn new things all the time and be encouraged to make your work easier and more efficient.

  11. 4-6+ Weeks Vacation: We want you to take time off to recharge. Trust us, it’s worth it.

  12. Paid Maternity/Paternity Leave: Yep, we even let people skip meetings during labor!

  13. Self-Funded: We don’t answer to anyone but ourselves, so we make decisions that are right for the company long-term—not for investors.

What Are Your Company’s Values?

Check out our career page to see them all in action—no corporate nonsense here. It’s real, and it’s worth a look.

What Will I Actually Be Doing?

Short version: You’ll get paid to learn a bunch of new skills and make hilarious gag gifts that our customers will love (and hopefully, keep us off any government watch lists).

Your day-to-day might include:

  • Developing funny concepts for gag gifts
  • Doing market research to gauge their potential
  • Drafting the design, concepts, and jokes
  • Writing jokes for product packaging
  • Working with designers to finalize products
  • Coordinating with sourcing teams to find vendors
  • Managing product production details (lots of details)
  • Helping with marketing materials

It’s fun work, but it’s not all jokes. You’ll need to produce and get efficient at scaling things up. We aim to launch hundreds of gag gifts every year, and you’ll be a key part of making that happen.

Do I Need Experience?

Oh, absolutely. We expect a minimum of 70 years of experience (120+ preferred). Just kidding.

We don’t care about your background—what matters is your potential. Most of our best people had no experience in the field. We hire for potential, not existing knowledge. No need for the Big Bang experience… but, you know, it wouldn’t hurt.

Do I Need a College Degree?

You just need to be awesome. That’s it.

Are There Geographic Restrictions?

As long as you’re in a country without active US sanctions, you’re good to go.

What Products Will I Be Working On?

We’ll help with concepts, but here’s a sample of what you could be working on:

  • Extra small condoms (a box of rubber thimbles with funny jokes)
  • The Child Chucker
  • The Human Cone

Does Everything Have to Be a Dick Joke?

Nope! While we’ve got a ton of funny, adult-themed products, we have plenty of ideas that don’t involve that.

How Funny Do I Have to Be?

You don’t need to be a stand-up comic, but if you can write funny things, we’ll be happy. You’ll need to write a lot of jokes regularly, though, so if that sounds fun, we’re on the same page.

Still Skeptical?

Sounds like our tax auditor! Don’t worry, we’re not a pyramid scheme—just a fun, growing company with some pretty cool people.

How Do I Apply?

Submit your info on our application page. There will be multiple steps—written application, interviews, and possibly paid work tests. We’ll let you know the final decision in a few weeks, and we won’t ghost you.

Thanks for reading, and we hope to work together soon!
