Who is Freelancer.com?

Freelancer owns Escrow.com, the world’s largest online escrow company with over US$5 billion in transactions secured, powering the sale of jet parts to oil wells. Freelancer also owns Freightlancer & Loadshift, marketplaces with more freight on a typical day than the distance from the earth to the moon, with over 550 million kilometres posted since inception.

If you join a mega-cap technology company as the 10000th hire you might struggle to figure out the impact you are making. If you join a startup, you might get to work on the latest fad, but likely have few mentors to learn from, work on toy problems and never change the world.

At Freelancer you’ll get to work on a highly diverse, global set of internet-scale challenges where you will make a meaningful difference with real responsibility, while rapidly building your skills. We run a meritocracy - we actively promote from within.

You’ll also change lives- our mission is to provide one billion jobs. Not many companies actually make a difference like Freelancer does in providing opportunity and income to people all around the world.
