Why join us?

• We operate as a fully remote, async team. Work where and when you’re most productive - we trust you to get your work done. Meetings are rare, efficient, and your time is respected.

• Every week brings new complex challenges and opportunities to learn. If you thrive on solving complex problems and enjoy continuous learning, you'll find this role exciting and engaging.

• You’ll contribute to a tool that empowers users to unlock insights in their data without relying on a data team.

We're a global team (50% outside the US), fully distributed (from Thailand to California), who get things done asynchronously, with plenty of uninterrupted time, supporting each other to do the best work of our careers. We offer flexibility (define your own schedule and work from wherever you want), autonomy, and an environment that fosters growth, learning, and development. We're relentlessly user-focused and believe in building long-term value, not short-term hacks. And we raised a $30M Series B to take our approach to the next level for years to come.
