🦔 Read more about how we hire and how we think about diversity & inclusion.
Were shipping every product that companies need to run their business from their first day, to the day they IPO, and beyond. The operating system for folks who build software.
We started with opensource product analytics, launched out of Y Combinators W20 cohort. Weve since shipped more than a dozen products, including:
A builtin data warehouse, so users can query product and customer data together using custom SQL insights.
A customer data platform, so they can send their data wherever they need with ease.
Max AI, an AIpowered analyst that answers product questions, helps users find useful session recordings, and writes custom SQL queries.
Default alive. Revenue is growing 10% MoM on average, and were very efficient. We raise money to push ambition and grow faster, not to keep the lights on.
Wellfunded. Weve raised more than $100m from some of the worlds top investors. Were set up for a long, ambitious journey.
Were focused on building an awesome product for end users, hiring exceptional teammates, shipping fast, and being as weird as possible.
Transparency: Everyone can read about our roadmap, how we pay (or even let go of) people, our strategy, and how we work, in our public company handbook. Internally, we share revenue, notes and slides from board meetings, and fundraising plans, so everyone has the context they need to make good decisions.
Autonomy: We don’t tell anyone what to do. Everyone chooses what to work on next based on whats going to have the biggest impact on our customers, and what they find interesting and motivating to work on. Engineers lead product teams and make product decisions. Teams are flexible and easy to change when needed.
Shipping fast: Why not now? We want to build a lot of products; we cant do that shipping at a normal pace. Weve built the company around small teams – autonomous, highlyefficient groups of cracked engineers who can outship much larger companies because they own their products endtoend.
Time for building: Nothing gets shipped in a meeting. Were a natively remote company. We default to async communication – PRs > Issues > Slack. Tuesdays and Thursdays are meetingfree days, and we prioritize heads down building time over perfect coordination. This will be the most productive job youve ever had.
Being weird: Weird means redesigning an already worldclass website for the 5th time. It means shipping literally every product that relates to customer data. It means building an objectively unnecessary developer toy with dubious shareholder value. Doing weird stuff is a competitive advantage. And its fun.
You’ll build and maintain the entire system (workflows, integrations, and data structures) that keep our sales, CS, and onboarding teams working effectively as we scale super fast. Some specific examples:
Take the lead on structuring our sales and CS data architecture. We have decent stuff in place, but it could probably be a lot better. Please tell us what to do!
Ensure the sales & CS teams have the right data at their disposal to do their jobs effectively.
Automate the heck out of sales processes wherever possible.
Build custom solutions to improve sales team efficiency, like workflows for smoother renewals so we don’t accidentally miss someone.
Maintain integrations between our main systems today we use Salesforce, Vitally, Zendesk, and PostHog, as well as our own billing system. In the future this may just be all PostHog…
