Los Angeles, often celebrated for its iconic entertainment industry, is equally a powerhouse in technological innovation and creativity.
The city remains a hotspot where ideas in e-commerce, healthcare, software development, sustainable technology, marketing and beyond are forged into reality by ambitious leaders and unified teams.
According to CompTIA’s most recent tech jobs report, in October, Los Angeles recorded 5,539 job postings, ranking it among the top metros in the country. Likewise, the city plays a significant role in the remote tech job market, with 996 job postings in the same month. Additionally, California is the leading state for AI job postings, with 2,956 openings.
These statistics reflect Los Angeles’ position as a key player in the national tech landscape, offering many opportunities in traditional and remote tech roles. Thrive Market, SimplePractice, Technossus, Ryvid and Golden Hippo are testaments to this spirit of innovation.
From Thrive Market’s personalized, accessible approach to online grocery shopping to SimplePractice’s software for health professionals, LA tech professionals are creating solutions for every niche. Technossus’s consultative prowess, Ryvid’s electric motorcycles and Golden Hippo’s creative marketing strategies further illustrate the diverse capabilities and entrepreneurial drive found in the city.
These five companies are more than just businesses; they are launchpads of ideas, growth and impactful technology — and they are all hiring now.
Golden Hippo is a direct-to-consumer marketer specializing in health, beauty and pet care brands, known for its innovative marketing strategies and diverse brand portfolio.
What is notable about working at Golden Hippo? What differentiates it from other places you’ve worked?
For years before joining Golden Hippo, I was freelancing through various companies. One thing that makes Golden Hippo different from those companies is its desire for its employees to be themselves. I’ve never felt more encouraged to speak my mind, pursue a project because I believed in it or try to grow a specific skill set simply because I had the passion to learn it. Golden Hippo’s culture differs from other companies because it has a corporate support structure while keeping the start-up feel of letting employees grow into their desired roles.
We aren’t just button pushers — we’re encouraged to collaborate how we want to and pursue the next revolutionary idea for the industry. Until Golden Hippo, my perception had always been that the bigger the company, the more of a worker drone you’re wanted to be, but I was very quickly shown that isn’t the case here and I love it.

I love seeing applicants have a real passion for what they do and create because I still have that spark for my projects. Every campaign I work on is a new adventure, and it’s always exciting to work with so many talented individuals who actively want to hear the thoughts and opinions and see the skills of those they’re collaborating with. You get a very genuine sense of collaboration here, and being prepared to show your passion for what you create is a big plus.

The impact of my work at Technossus is tangible and transformative for our clients. We don’t just provide data and analytics, we create a roadmap for their success.

This helped reduce their costs, improve vendor management and provide more value to their customers.

Our work extends beyond data analysis, though. We take the data and translate it into action. For example, in the biotech industry, our strategies led to improved inventory management. This meant less waste, lower costs and more budget space for research. The downstream effect is that customers can now find their favorite product consistently in stock and at a reasonable price.
Our work in the financial sector has enabled clients to identify and mitigate risks proactively. Our impact is about creating real-world, lasting changes that directly improve our clients’ ability to serve their customers.
