About the jobWear a ton of hats as the first full-stack hire for a seed-company. You will own product features and product decisions end-to-end from design to implementation. You will work with seasoned front-end and back-end engineers as well as designers in a fast-paced environment to deliver high quality products. We want someone who can not only plug in and iterate quickly but also someone who brings unique perspectives and vocal ideas to shaping both the engineering team and the product.
We have a high bar for talent.
We want to make sure that every engineer that comes in can lay a strong foundation for the engineers of the future. This requires not only iterating quickly and being scrappy, but also being able to understand what “perfect” looks like and being able to independently strive towards a proper maintainable and scalable solution. There are people who know how to work solely within pre-existing foundations, and people who know how to build extremely fast without much foundation. Both are important, but we want someone who displays signals they can balance both.
About Us
We have clear product-market-fit and a roadmap of what we want to build in a $276B TAM market.
We are a team of MIT and Berkeley engineers + revenue leaders with diverse experiences spanning from Wall Street exotics trading to delivering growth, product, and revenue at companies like Verkada (backed by Sequoia, Felicis, First Round, etc) and Wiz (backed by Sequoia, Salesforce, Index, Insight), the fastest growing company in history to reach $100M in ARR.
We have raised capital led by Felicis Ventures and Crossbeam Venture Partners, with participation from Liquid2 Ventures and GPs/Executives at BOND Capital, Roblox, and Nium.
We are fascinated by the Future of Work, wherein talented people will have increased flexibility.
