About Puppet by Perforce

Puppet empowers people through infrastructure automation. Automation unlocks the ability for IT operations teams to scale infrastructure at the largest companies in the world - and to do it securely, compliantly, and continuously. We give IT operators back their time and offer them peace of mind - so they can take a real vacation, not one where they have to constantly check their email.

Over 40,000 organizations use Puppet, including 80 percent of the Global 5000. In May of 2022, Puppet was acquired by Perforce Software, backed by Francisco Partners and Clearlake Capital Group. Puppet's brand and software suite work standalone within Perforce.

Our enormous success isn't sheer luck; it's a collective effort made possible by the incredible people working here, our customers, partners, and Puppet community. At Puppet, we are united by our shared values: be open, be transformational, and be for each other. Our culture is built on diversity, equity, inclusivity and access-and we seek resilient, entrepreneurial-minded team players who strive to be incrementally better every single day. In our work together we aim to be curious, accountable, empathetic and, above all, collaborative. If this sounds like the environment you'd thrive in, why not say hello?
