Where would we be without knowledge and a society of passionate learners? From science to the humanities, the acquisition of skills and knowledge are key to what it means to be human, and what it means to operate as a healthy society.
The Appsembler team is committed to furthering this ongoing spread of knowledge and skills, which are critical to making us who we are. Appsembler’s two key products, Tahoe and Virtual Labs, form an experiential learning platform that gives learners direct experience with various software via hands-on exercises. On a daily basis, we work closely with companies like Redis, Cybereason, and Progress Software, as well as institutions like The Pennsylvania State University and The Open University.

That means that we are not limited by borders, and we hire and operate in a manner that assumes that team members are not co-located.
