Careers at DangerBake

Hazard Pay Included. Survival Not Guaranteed.

Why Work Here?

At DangerBake, we don't just offer jobs. We offer experiences that will fundamentally alter your relationship with fear, insurance paperwork, and the concept of personal safety.

💰

Unlimited Hazard Pay

Your base salary is competitive. Your hazard pay is astronomical. Combined, they almost cover the therapy bills. We consider this a net positive.

💥

Free Product Testing

Take home any DangerBake product at no cost. Waiver required. Next-of-kin notification form required. Fireproof bag for personal belongings provided.

🏥

On-Site Burn Unit

Most companies have a break room. We have a break room AND a fully staffed burn unit. The burn unit sees more traffic. The coffee in both is terrible.

📈

401(k) That Might Explode

We match up to 6% of your contributions. Funds are invested in a diversified portfolio of volatile assets. “Volatile” is not a metaphor here.

🍴

Catered Lunches

Prepared daily using DangerBake appliances. Meals are free. Edibility varies. The salad station is the only thing that hasn't caught fire, and we're looking into that.

💫

Unlimited PTO

Take as much time off as you need. Many employees take extended leaves involuntarily. We call it “recovery time” and count it toward your PTO balance.

Open Positions

Detonation Specialist R&D Department. Must be comfortable working in blast radius. EOD experience preferred but not required. We learn on the job here.
QA Tester (Hazmat Certified) Test products until they fail or you do. Full protective gear provided. Replacement gear provided frequently.
Warranty Denial Copywriter Craft compelling explanations for why warranty claims are invalid. Must be fluent in corporate doublespeak and immune to guilt.
Fire Marshal Liaison Maintain our “relationship” with local fire authorities. Must be diplomatic. Must own a suit that is not singed.
Structural Integrity Optimist Assess whether our products will destroy the building they're in. Historically, the answer is yes. We need someone who can say it nicely.
Social Media Manager Turn incident reports into viral content. Must be able to distinguish between “good press” and “legal exposure.” Spoiler: it's always both.
Insurance Negotiator Convince insurance companies to cover us. Again. Starting salary reflects the impossibility of the task. Commission-based on miracles performed.
Intern (Permanent) Assist Dave. Dave needs help. Responsibilities include everything no one else will do, which is most things. Promotion timeline: unclear.
Chief Apology Officer New role. Write formal apologies on behalf of the company. Must be sincere enough to read aloud in court but vague enough to admit nothing.
Evacuation Choreographer Design and rehearse evacuation routes for product demos. Must have background in crowd management or interpretive dance. Both help equally.

What Our Employees Say

★★★★★

“I've never felt more alive at work. Literally. Every day I walk in, I think, 'I am alive. That's a win.' Great culture.”

— Marcus T., QA Tester (8 months, 3 eyebrows lost)
★★★★☆

“The hazard pay is phenomenal. I've bought a second home. I need it because the first one was destroyed during a product test I brought home.”

— Lisa W., Detonation Specialist (14 months)
★★★★★

“DangerBake is the only company where my firefighting background, my creative writing degree, and my high pain tolerance are ALL relevant. Dream job.”

— Samantha K., Warranty Denial Copywriter (2 years)
★★☆☆☆

“They told me the on-site burn unit was a perk. I thought it was a joke. I no longer think it's a joke. I go there three times a week. The nurses know my name.”

— Kevin R., Fire Marshal Liaison (6 months)
★★★★★

“I'm Dave. I've been here since the beginning. They keep saying my promotion is 'under review.' I handle the fire extinguisher, the customer complaints, the mail, the website, and the goat. The goat owns the building. I do not have dental.”

— Dave, Intern (Permanent)

The Application Process

📝

Step 1: Apply

Submit your resume, cover letter, and a signed liability waiver. The waiver is longer than most dissertations. Read it carefully. Or don't. No one does.

🔥

Step 2: The Interview

A standard behavioral interview conducted in our product testing facility. Candidates are assessed on technical skills, cultural fit, and reflexes. The reflexes part is not optional.

💪

Step 3: The Trial

A 48-hour on-site trial period where you'll work alongside our team, test products, and discover your personal threshold for sustained panic. Protective equipment is first-come, first-served.

🎉

Step 4: Offer (Maybe)

If you're still here, still conscious, and still interested, we'll extend an offer. The offer includes your salary, benefits package, and a personalized emergency exit map of the building.
