About Hotjar

The world is undergoing a radical transformation, as more and more jobs, businesses, and schools move online—and Hotjar is at the core of that transformation.
Hotjar wants to make the web a better place. Many digital experiences, whether on desktop or mobile, are not user-friendly; and a lot of websites leave people frustrated or confused. We are working hard to change that.

We’re building easy-to-use, intuitive behavior analytics software for businesses selling online, with a focus on helping website owners really understand how their users (you and me) experience their site. We want to help our customers find out what people love—or hate—about their website, so they can make the most impactful changes to it and give their users the experience they deserve.

We are a team of over 100 Hotjarians spread across 24 countries. Naturally, we’re a fully-distributed company: what better way to help others improve digital experiences than to be completely digital ourselves, all day every day? Are you ready to help us build the future?
