Join our global team of information technology professionals, dedicated to advancing
library technology.
At OCLC, we exist because what is known must be shared. On the surface this seems simple. But dig deeper. We hold petabytes of data. Diverse data in different languages, different scripts, and different formats. We bring it together, make it talk, make it accessible. We challenge your mind while keeping your heart. If that sounds cool, you might be one of us.

Never heard of OCLC? We’re worth knowing.
OCLC makes the technology that powers the world’s libraries, and if that seems low-tech, you haven’t used a library lately. Our teams work with complex, global datasets, machine learning, hybrid cloud solutions, and other technologies that connect people and organizations to the information they need.
Our flexible workplace philosophy.
At OCLC, you have choices about how you work and we trust you to do the right thing. We offer safe, comfortable workspaces at our Dublin, Ohio, headquarters and offices around the world. You choose when to use them and how because we believe flexibility and choice creates balance and equity. Come in to use a collaboration space or enjoy quiet heads-down time at your desk. Work remotely if you prefer. It's pretty simple. Be as flexible or consistent as you like and make the choice that helps you best serve our customers.
Our reach is global. Our roots are deep.
There’s no template for an OCLC employee. Diversity of thought unlocks innovation, and your ideas matter here, whether you have two years of experience or 20. You’ll learn, create, and problem-solve with librarians, technologists, researchers, marketing pros, and support staff from around the world.
OCLC values the world we all want to see.
We believe that what is known must be shared. That’s not just a tagline—it’s a guiding principle. Our products make it easier and faster for people to access the world’s knowledge. Knowledge that fuels scientific breakthroughs, bridges cultural divides, and contributes to a more equitable society. Equity, diversity, and inclusion have long been embedded in our work, but we’re raising our own bar with dedicated projects and initiatives that contribute to racial equity within our organization and in the communities our customers serve.
You have a life, and we like that about you.
The tech industry moves fast and we need to, too. But we won’t ask you to leave your life behind. Your whole self is not only welcome—it’s an asset, because you never know where your best ideas and inspiration will come from. You bring the passion and we’ll bring you a workplace you’re proud to be a part of.
