Job description
ABOUT US
At Gozney, we're on a mission to change the way the world cooks outdoors. Founded in 2011, we design beautiful, functional, durable outdoor cooking tools that light a fire for anyone to be able to make, create, provide, connect, discover, and grow. We exist to ignite better human experiences through live-fire cooking – or maybe we just love making amazing pizza – everyone loves pizza.

We are looking for motivated individuals eager to join our growing team and be part of an amazing journey.
