We believe in hiring kind, humble, and driven people
We offer training, development, and career paths to help Zapprovians get where they want to go.
Open Positions
We are a community of passionate innovators.
We started on a red couch in 2008 and have persevered through a recession to rise into a market leader and recognized innovator. Our technology is critical to building a better justice system, while our commitment is to grow a more just and equitable society.
We Live and Breathe Our Values
Providing a positive and open culture is a top priority at Zapproved. Our values permeate everything we do—from leadership transparency to everyday interactions and decision making along with the community events we support.
BE REAL
We believe in honesty, integrity, and transparency. We honor our commitment to each other and communicate openly even when it’s not easy.
BE OUR BEST
We show up every day being the best we can and believe that Zapprovians lead with good intentions. We believe the best learning happens by acting quickly when we see opportunities to improve, trying, taking risks, staying humble, and being brave. We take deep pride in delivering the best outcomes that we can for our team, our customers, and ourselves.
BE INCLUSIVE
We value each other as unique individuals. We know that people from different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences create the best teams. We put the team first and are supportive when we see each other taking action. We win by how we work together. We are purposeful partners to our colleagues and our customers, elevating and supporting each other. This is what sets us apart.
TAKE ACTION
We set ambitious goals and aren’t afraid of failing fast as a means to achieve them. We empower ourselves and each other to operate with a strong bias towards action, iterate as necessary and hold ourselves accountable for the outcomes. We are here to deliver results and we value progress over perfection.
