About the Role
As a Cofounder, you will help build the company and the product, from early customer conversations and product direction to company building. You will spend your time moving between customers, product, and engineering, turning customer insight into products developers choose to depend on. You will help decide what we build, why it matters, and how we bring it to market. You will collaborate with experienced builders who have spent decades scaling enterprise infrastructure companies. You will review architecture, sit with customers to understand adoption challenges, and build products developers trust through iteration. Thrive in ambiguity, making consequential decisions across product, engineering, customers, and business.
