About us
We’re a YC-backed startup (S21) building a next-gen data integration tool. We’ve raised $4M in funding and hundreds of customers love us including Ramp, Webflow, and Descript.
What we’re building
You probably already know a million different data integration tools. Zapier, Fivetran, Hightouch, Workato, Airbyte, etc.
Each of these tools does a different type of integration:
Zapier = automations
Fivetran = ETL
Hightouch = rETL
We’re building the first ever all-in-one integration tool: syncing, automation, and ETL… all in a single platform. We started with 2-way sync and now we’re building out the rest.
Data integration is a massive market (which is why those million companies exist). We think there’s an opportunity to build the biggest data integration company yet if we do this right.
The team
TL;DR -> mostly senior engineers
Curtis, founder -> ex-Microsoft, sold last company to Google, ex-Google Maps/Area 120
Ryder, engineer -> ex-Google Maps/Area 120
Chris, engineer -> former CTO of Battlesnake, founder of multiple game studios
Matthew, founder -> former founder, PM
The role
Help build out the first ever all-in-one integration tool. We’re 4 full-time, so everyone does a bit of everything. Frontend, backend, talking to customers, product thinking, etc. Whatever the opposite is of just taking tickets.
We’ve purposefully built a small team of highly effective people who require very little management. Same goes for this role. You’ll get to own a ton of the product decisions, help build the culture, and play a key role in creating something special.
Who we’re looking for
You can be trusted with significant pieces of the product
You just know how to get stuff done
You’re an amazing communicator (concise, clear)
You want the next company you join to be the place you do the best work of your career
You’d rather walk on nails than coast at a FAANG company working 20hrs a week
You’ve had at least one real job before (3-10 yrs experience)
You live in a US timezone
(Nice-to-have) You’ve previously worked on an integration product (data pipelines, workflow automations, API integrations, etc.)
Our stack
Google Cloud
TypeScript
Node/Express backend
Next.js frontend (React, Mantine)
Postgres and Redis data stores
Conductor workflow engine
How we work
Fully remote
Use a tool called Gather as our virtual office (think Pokemon x Zoom for work)
Only 1 hr of standing meetings per week (30min for planning, 30min for 1:1) so we can do actual work
Classic startup software stack (Slack, Notion, Linear)
The interview process
Intro call (25min talking about your experience/what you’re looking for next)
Technical interview (1 hr, don’t have to write any code)
Super Day (full day in the office seeing what it’s like to work here)
