08/25/2026

WE’RE HIRING, but probably not for what you think.

The Café is growing fast, and we are assembling a team of smart, creative, fun go-getters who want to help us create unforgettable events, unexpected activations, new experiences, and a few secret projects we haven’t announced yet.

We’re looking for:

• Graphic and multimedia designers
• Audiovisual engineers
• Experiential and visual merchandisers
• Social media and marketing professionals
• Merch, fashion, and clothing designers
• Talent bookers
• Artists, fabricators, and builders
• Creative producers and project managers
• Jacks-of-all-trades and multi-hyphenates

Maybe you fit one of these roles. Maybe you fit five. Maybe you’re a fine artist, a Burning Man builder, a nightlife obsessive, or someone with an incredible skill set that doesn’t neatly fit into a traditional job title.

Creativity is creativity. We want to hear from you.

You should be fun to work with, excited about ambitious ideas, detail-oriented, and comfortable with the fact that nightlife doesn’t always happen during traditional 9-to-5 hours.

Creative positions will begin part-time or on a project basis, with the potential to transition to full-time roles that include medical, dental, vision, PTO, and other benefits.

Think you belong here? Send us your resume, portfolio, Instagram, website, or anything else that shows us what you can do at [email protected].

No traditional resume? That’s okay. Show us your work and tell us what you would bring to The Café.
