Last year, my family and I moved from New York City to Austin, Texas. In a short amount of time, we’ve cultivated a new community for ourselves, including our new neighbors, teachers, and classmates for my daughter. As an Australian who’s lived and worked all over the world, I know from experience that community can be a gamechanger to one’s happiness, health, and productivity. 

Community is at the heart of why Seismic decided to open a new office in Austin earlier this summer. In today’s hybrid work era, the office space functions differently than it traditionally has. At Seismic, we’re thinking deeply about how these spaces can build community for our employees based on role and region and ignite growth for our company.

Our new flexible workplace philosophy views each office as a hub for fostering community, connection, and creativity – and our new office in Austin is purpose-built to do exactly that.

Over the last few months, it’s been great to meet and work closely with team members based in Austin. Our new space provides opportunities to learn from one another, build community, and collaborate with fellow employees, particularly for our early-career team members. We’re excited to meet all the amazing talent this city has to offer and continue hiring in the greater Austin area. Of course, we haven’t forgotten our Southern hospitality – we look forward to hosting Austin-based Seismic customers and partners in this new office. Tacos and beer, anyone?

I’m thrilled that Seismic has an official footprint in this city on the rise, one that has seen a boom in people and businesses alike over the last two years. We’re excited to deepen our relationships with the Austin community and have already completed the first of many group volunteer outings at the Central Texas Food Bank.

So whether you’ve got a great BBQ joint to recommend or just want to say hi to your new Austin neighbors, drop me a message on LinkedIn. If you’re looking to ignite growth in your career and join the Seismic team – in Austin or elsewhere – check out our open roles.
