We’re Photomatica, a photo booth manufacturing company based in San Francisco. We rent “vintage-inspired” photo booths that we’ve designed for events (weddings, corporate events) and build custom ones for permanent placements (bars, hotels, etc). We’ve been around for a decade and have grown our team to over a dozen people over the years. We believe in a work environment that allows everyone to feel comfortable, productive and inspired. Because when we are inspired, big things happen.

Lead Builder

We are looking for a lead builder to join our team. The ideal candidate (you!) will have carpentry skills, metal fabrication experience, and the ability to work with common power tools. Strong computer skills would be a major bonus for this position. You should have experience procuring unique aluminum and other pre-fabricated metal pieces and a knack for discovering solutions to our building needs. You will keep project costs under budget and within tight timelines. You will effectively manage multiple projects simultaneously with Asana and keep the build team focused and on task. You must be extremely detail oriented, both for building and managing, to be successful in this position. We would expect the lead builder to bring new ideas, solutions, positivity and be driven. This position has a lot of flexibility as long as the projects are completed within the set parameters.

Event Attendant

This is the coolest job you have never had. Attendants will come to our warehouse on Treasure Island (or our storage unit in Silverlake) and pick up a photo booth for an event. The attendant drives to the event in one of our vans (or we rent one for you). The attendant will set up the booth and make sure everything is working for the event. The perfect attendant charms everyone at the party, and ensures the booth works perfectly. After the event, you'll pack everything up and bring it back to the shop / storage unit. Most of the time you get a free bomb ass meal, you get to see people having a great time, and you can even pretend that you are a guest at the party (in your mind - but you are actually working). We expect you to be on time, with a great attitude and some computer/technical skills. If you're interested, tell us about yourself and why we should hire you for this dream job.

Photo Booth Vending Manager

If you're outgoing, like to meet people and want to know every bar in town like you own it, this side-hustle might be just what you've been looking for. The vending manager position is a side-hustle where you will keep our photo booths running within your region (i.e. DFW or SATX). Our photo booths live in bars, hotels or anywhere we can place them where people frequent. Most of our booths are in bars. We run reports twice a week to see if any photo booths need to be checked. If one of the booths is down, out of paper, needs a camera replaced, or just checked because we don't know what's up with it, we let you know and you stop by the venue. We'll give you a box of parts that you'll have in your trunk that you will use to make any necessary fixes. Our photo booth system isn't rocket science, but basic computer skills are necessary. The pay is generous, the time required is small, but we expect the booths to be checked within 48 hours of notice. Finally, at the beginning of each month, you will check on each photo booth in person and make cash collections. We also offer bonuses if you help us find more locations. We fly everyone out to our company party in San Francisco once a year. And, if your region is successful, you'll be invited to our annual company trip abroad. Please inquire if you're interested and would like to know more information.

• Must have proof of Covid-19 vaccination if it's required to enter one of our venues.
