Vision care can be surprisingly expensive. Concerned that the ability to see costs people hundreds of dollars, two visionaries founded Zenni in 2003 as one of the first online-only shops for affordable prescription glasses. They were able to provide affordable and accessible eyewear to everyone by cutting the middleman out and going directly to consumers. What started as a small, homegrown business in Northern California has morphed into the #1 online retailer in the world for eyewear with over 50 million frames sold to customers around the globe. In this journey, we continue to innovate but our commitment remains the same: Investing in vision care today means a brighter tomorrow for everyone.
In addition to compensation, we provide a comprehensive benefits package to support your physical health, financial security, and overall well-being both inside and outside the workplace*.
💰 Annual Bonus Program 🩺 Healthcare Plans (Medical, Dental, and Vision) 📈 Retirement Plans with Company Match 🌴 Generous Paid Time Off & Paid Holidays 🍼 Paid Parental Leave ☀️ Well-Being Stipend 🧠 Learning and Development Stipend 🎁 Birthday Gift Card to get your own Zenni glasses!

#LI-REMOTE
At Zenni Optical, people remain the heart of our mission, even as we embrace technology that moves us forward. While we recognize the immense promise of AI, we are equally mindful of its limitations and use these tools strictly to assist our Talent Acquisition team rather than replace human judgment. We utilize AI tools as a collaborative partner to create content–such as job descriptions, interview questions, and outreach messaging–and review resumes, but we maintain a firm commitment to human-led hiring where AI never makes a final decision. Every selection is determined by a member of our team to ensure every candidate is personally valued by a human rather than an algorithm.
We look forward to hearing from you!
We strive to build a diverse team of individuals with a broad range of experience and perspectives. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t feel you meet all the qualifications.
Zenni Optical is an equal opportunity workplace and considers applications without regard to race, color, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or Veteran status.We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements.
