About Coda

Coda is your all-in-one collaborative workspace. We bring teams and tools together for a more organized work day. Coda is familiar and flexible like the documents you're used to, but comes with building blocks you can combine to create docs as powerful as apps. It's a big product with an even bigger mission. And with our launch of Coda Brain, your team’s favorite know-it-all, we now have a turnkey AI platform that understands your company data, can respond in text and tables, and is permission-aware. So your team is never caught in a frustrating loop of searching for context, interrupting the flow of others to find it, and submitting internal requests, just to see the same (and probably stale) data presented in slightly different ways. With Coda Brain, all you need to do is ask.
 
We're backed by some of Silicon Valley's leading venture capitalists, and have assembled a world-class team all over the United States. Join us as we take our product to the next level. Here's a quick overview of what we do.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
