About Pixite
What is Pixite?
Pixite is a thriving app company that makes award-winning visually creative apps for iOS and Android. The mission, verbatim from the careers page: "to empower individuals to be creative. We believe everyone has that capacity, and the act of creating makes each one of us better people through expression, introspection, and mindfulness."
Founded and headquartered in San Diego since 2009, Pixite''s app portfolio spans digital coloring, journaling, and productivity tools: Pigment, Assembly, Zinnia, Marvel: CYO (Color Your Own), Union, Fragment, Cubes, and Spool. The team has a strong company culture of "innovation, fairness, collaboration, and work-life balance" — and has always been completely remote, with plans to continue this into the future.
Where will I work?
Pixite has been "completely remote" since founding in 2009 — verbatim from the careers page. The team is tight-knit, distributed, and remote-first by design. The company HQ is in San Diego (registered there since 2009), but the team works from wherever each person is happiest and most effective.
What is the Pixite team like?
The careers page frames the candidate filter explicitly: "Are you interested in creating with a tight-knit remote team of innovators? Are you self-motivated and fascinated by possibilities? Do you thrive in creative, collaborative environments?"
Four culture values — innovation, fairness, collaboration, and work-life balance — guide how the team operates. The apps themselves reflect this philosophy: each one designed to "empower individuals to be creative" through mindful, expressive tools rather than productivity-at-all-costs.
Work-Life Balance
Pixite operates with unlimited PTO and half-day Fridays — verbatim from the careers page: "Take a personal day, sick day, or tropical holiday. Fridays are half-day!" The remote-since-2009 model means no commute, no fixed location, and the flexibility to work from anywhere. The annual teambuilding days are an off-screen opportunity to meet teammates in person, with Pixite covering all travel expenses including transportation, meals, and stay.
