About Rinse Laundry and dry cleaning services make up a $90 billion global industry that has barely changed in decades. Most of it still runs on manual scheduling, delivers inconsistent quality, and has no technology backbone. We think that's a massive opportunity, and for over ten years, we've been building the company that solves it. Rinse is building the global category leader for clothing care. We've replaced the legacy model with smart scheduling, best-in-class quality, and a technology backbone that makes the entire experience seamless, for customers across the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Chicago, Boston, New Jersey, Seattle, Austin, and Toronto. We've raised over $70 million from leading VCs and strategic investors, including Partech and LG Electronics. They're backing us because they see the same thing we do: an enormous industry ripe for a smarter approach, and a team that knows how to win it. Our bar is simple: A+ talent only. If you want to help us accelerate that mission, we want to hear from you. Your application will be handled in accordance with our Candidate Privacy Policy.
