Benefits

Learning & Growth: Direct mentorship from founders who've built Dover (raised $23M) and Heap ($960M valuation, acquired). You'll learn how to build and scale transformative products from people who've done it.
Impact: The team is small and will stay small. We aspire to a very high revenue to headcount ratio. Every engineer directly shapes the product and company trajectory. No layers, no politics, just building.
Ownership: We're a high-trust environment where you'll own significant projects from day one, with support when you need it.
Ambition: We're redefining who can use design tools and how they work, with a massive potential audience and the technical challenges to match.
Speed: We move incredibly quickly. You'll ship more in a month here than most engineers ship in a year.
