Our Story and Purpose
Linden Lab develops platforms that empower people to create, connect, and thrive through transformative virtual experiences. Since our founding in 1999, we've been at the forefront of the creator economy, building platforms that inspire limitless imagination and innovation.
In 2003, we revolutionized the virtual world with the launch of Second Life—a vibrant, user-driven community where creativity knows no bounds. With over two billion user creations and a flourishing $500 million economy, Second Life continues to be a global hub for collaboration, self-expression, and entrepreneurship.
We believe our strength lies in diversity—of perspectives, experiences, and ideas. Our values are rooted in organizational health, strengths-based leadership, and the belief that collaborative teams are stronger than individuals.
At Linden Lab, you'll be at the cutting edge of virtual worlds, shaping the future of immersive experiences. Whether you're building innovative tools or fostering a welcoming community, you'll find a place to belong, thrive, and be unapologetically yourself. We invite you to come as you are.
Your Mission
This is an individual contributor position reporting to the Senior Manager, Product Operations. This is currently a remote position. You will work from your home office and collaborate virtually with customers, teammates, and cross-functional partners.

Your primary responsibility is to deliver exceptional support to Second Life's highest-value customers, such as Concierge and Premium Plus members.

Your goal is not only to resolve issues but to foster long-term success and engagement for all our valued customers.
Location Requirement
