Careers at DeRP Inc.

Where every day is an adventure. An accidental, poorly planned adventure.

Why Work Here?

At Definitely Real Products Inc., we don't just offer jobs—we offer experiences that no other employer can (or would want to) provide. Our culture is built on three pillars: innovation, confusion, and an unwavering commitment to products that raise more questions than they answer.

We're a team of dreamers, thinkers, and one very large individual who communicates exclusively through furniture displacement. Whether you're a seasoned professional looking for a change or someone who just wandered in and we haven't asked to leave yet, there's a place for you at DeRP.

We're growing fast. Possibly too fast. Several departments now exist that weren't planned. If you thrive in an environment where the org chart is more of a suggestion and "that's not my job" is never true because no one's job is clearly defined, you'll fit right in.

Benefits Package

Comprehensive. Mostly real. Some restrictions apply (in dimensions 4-7).

Sasquatch Dental Plan

Full coverage for teeth of all sizes. Especially large sizes. Unusually large sizes.

Unlimited PTO

That no one uses because there's nothing to take time off from. It's more of a philosophical benefit.

Free Parking

In a dimension that may not exist. Validated by Bartholomew (see Leadership page).

401(k) Matching

We match your confusion. For every dollar you invest, we invest an equal amount of uncertainty.

On-Site Cafeteria

Soup only. After 10pm. The soup is always a surprise, even to the chef. Especially to the chef.

Casual Dress Code

Formal dress code on Opposite Day. Business casual on days that are palindromes. Costumes encouraged Wednesdays.

Open Positions

All positions are full-time unless otherwise noted or until we forget you work here

Calibrate, test, and quality-assure our Tragic 8 Ball product line. Ensure each unit delivers appropriately devastating emotional truths within manufacturer specifications.

Requirements

  • Must be comfortable with existential dread

VP of Something (TBD)

Dept: Executive Location: Corner office (if we can find it)

We're hiring a Vice President. Of what, exactly, remains to be determined upon hiring. The role will be shaped by whoever fills it, which is either empowering or deeply alarming.

Requirements

  • Must be willing to figure out what this job is
  • Experience in at least one (1) field of any kind
  • Ability to attend meetings with conviction
  • A title from a previous job (any title, we're not picky)

Nice to Have

  • A vision (for the company, or in general)
  • The ability to make PowerPoint slides that feel important
  • Comfort with ambiguity at a level that would concern most people
  • References from companies that definitely exist
Why join this team? This is a rare opportunity to define your own role at a company that can barely define itself. Greg did it (see: VP of Vibes), and look how that turned out. Actually, don't look too closely.
Equal Opportunity Employer: Definitely Real Products Inc. is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, species, dimensional origin, carpet affiliation, or number of feet. We actively encourage applications from Sasquatches, sentient home furnishings, and entities that exist in superposition. Reasonable accommodations available for applicants who experience time non-linearly. Background checks conducted in this dimension only.

This Could Be You

That silhouette up there? That’s you. Or it could be. We don’t know what you look like, and frankly, neither does our HR department. But we do know one thing: there’s a desk somewhere in this company with your name on it. Literally. Greg has been writing random names on desks again.
