Sales Engineer

About us

We’re an early, well-funded team with a proven track record of shipping open-source software with global adoption. We put a premium on respectful, clear, and complete communication, and we expect each other to be creative, curious, effective, and empathetic.

We believe deeply that the right tools and abstractions enable not just technological transformation, but also organizational transformation. We strive to put the user and their hard work at the center of our decision-making. In practice, that means we are looking for engineers who want to write clean APIs and helpful error messages, and who always try to understand user needs when designing a new system.

Our customers are some of the most exciting businesses on the internet, and you will work closely with both their technology and business teams to scope out and implement onboarding projects. You will work closely with our team of Account Executives to prove the power of the platform to new clients. You’ll also get exposure to the inner workings of a rapidly-growing organization. You will have opportunities to contribute ideas to the direction of our team and participate in the various initiatives that will drive our growth.

All of our open source work is done publicly. You can gain context about how we collaborate as a team and the problems we work on by exploring GitHub and looking at our code reviews.
