Job Summary
Job description
About us: iconic brand tiny company.
Polaroid was founded in 1937 by one of the most seminal innovators of the 20th century Edwin Land. His motto was dont undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly 2008 Polaroid shuttered its last factory but a group of diehard fans came together as The Impossible Project to save instant films. Over 10 years later that startup acquired what was left of Polaroid and today were again a small group of people passionate about changing the world through great products.
