About Us

We're 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 open-source product analytics, launched out of Y Combinator's W20 cohort. We've since shipped more than a dozen products, including:

  • A built-in 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 AI-powered analyst that answers product questions, helps users find useful session recordings, and writes custom SQL queries.

Next on the roadmap are CRM, messaging, revenue analytics, and support products. When we say every product that companies need to run their business, we really mean it!

We are:

1. Product-led. More than 100,000 companies have installed, mostly driven by word-of-mouth. We have intensely strong product-market fit.

2. Default alive. Revenue is growing 10% MoM on average, and we're very efficient. We raise money to push ambition and grow faster, not to keep the lights on.

3. Well-funded. We've raised more than $100m from some of the world's top investors. We're set up for a long, ambitious journey.

We're focused on building an awesome product for end users, hiring exceptional teammates, shipping fast, and being as weird as possible.

Things we care about

  • 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 what's 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 can't do that shipping at a normal pace. We've built the company around small teams – autonomous, highly-efficient groups of cracked engineers who can outship much larger companies because they own their products end-to-end.
  • Time for building: Nothing gets shipped in a meeting. We're a natively remote company. We default to async communication – PRs > Issues > Slack. Tuesdays and Thursdays are meeting-free days, and we prioritize heads down building time over perfect coordination. This will be the most productive job you've ever had.
  • Ambition: We want to solve big problems. We strongly believe that aiming for the best possible upside, and sometimes missing, is better than never trying. We're optimistic about what's possible and our ability to get there.
  • Being weird: Weird means redesigning an already world-class 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 it's fun.

Who we're looking for

We have grown primarily through word-of-mouth because developers actually like us (shocking, we know!).

Now we want to meet developers where they already are – in the tools they use every day – probably while complaining about their failed deployments.

We're looking for a Product Engineer to build integrations with the platforms developers love using. You'll be creating native experiences that make adopting us feel obvious, whether someone discovers us through the Vercel marketplace, sets us up via a GitHub Action, or configures us through their favourite deployment platform.

This job is ideal for someone who:

  • Can work well with external teams and APIs. You'll be "hopping on a quick call" with engineers from platforms like Vercel, GitHub, and AWS. You'll need to navigate their APIs, understand their constraints and figure out the best way to integrate with them.
  • Gets excited about developer experience. The best integrations feel like magic. They just work, and have docs that don't make you want to throw your laptop out the window.
  • You've built a few integrations yourself, cursed at some OAuth flows, and waited with excitement for the 6th round of marketplace reviews to come through.
  • You love finding the latest developer toy to play with, and figuring out which ones will stick around

What you will be doing

  • You will build integrations from scratch with developer platforms like Vercel, Netlify, AWS & GitHub.
  • You will design integration-specific onboarding flows that get developers set up with us in minutes.
  • You will maintain and monitor existing integrations to make sure they are working correctly.
  • You will build tooling and infrastructure to make future integrations faster to create.
  • You will analyze our users to understand which integrations we should prioritise building.

What you won't be doing

  • You won't get detailed specifications for every integration (you'll need to research APIs and figure out the best approach yourself).
  • You won't be selling to providers, doing business development or marketing. This is an engineering role, so no sales calls required (phew!)
  • You won't be relying on another team to handle the listing and approval processes for integrations; you will handle the end-to-end process.
  • You won't be building one-off custom integrations for individual customers (no matter how much they love Salesforce).

Requirements

  • You'll have full-stack experience with relevant technologies (Python or similar, React or similar, extensive experience with APIs and third-party integrations).
  • Experience building user-facing integrations with popular developer platforms and marketplaces.
  • You have started a project from scratch. You might have been a founder previously, or built an impressive side project in the dev tools space.
  • You have strong communication skills. We document everything, most of it publicly, and you'll be working with other engineers to get things shipped.
  • You move fast, have a strong bias for impact, and you don't shy away from stepping on toes.

Nice to haves:

  • You've worked in a high-growth SaaS company; ideally in the dev tools space.
  • Experience building marketplace apps for platforms like Vercel Marketplace, GitHub Marketplace, or Slack App Directory.
  • Partnership or developer relations experience – i.e. you've worked directly with platform teams at major tech companies.
  • Extensive experience with Django and TypeScript-based React.

If you have a disability, please let us know if there's any way we can make the interview process better for you - we're happy to accommodate!
