Our platform makes data analysis and integration simple, helping engineering teams move faster without sacrificing safety or precision. We’re a tight-knit team of engineers and operators who own problems end to end, work across disciplines, and thrive on solving challenges at the intersection of hardware and software.
We’re backed by top-tier investors, including Sequoia, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Lightspeed Ventures, and were recently named in Forbes’ Next Billion-Dollar Startups list.

Building such a team is no accident; it requires exceptional people and a thoughtful, high-integrity recruiting process. That’s why we care deeply about every candidate's experience and every hire.

You’ll own interview coordination, keep communication flowing, and constantly look for ways to elevate how we tell our story to candidates.
