We’re a well-funded, seed-stage startup backed by Y Combinator and Funders Club, working with some of the most innovative companies in the world like Figma, Canva & Brex. We’re post product-market-fit but pre-Series A: the perfect time for an ambitious operator to join a fast growth startup.

This is a remote role open to anyone able to work within American time zones.

One of the keys to success in this position: You need to have the discipline to work independently and have a passion for the power of customer insights or have the drive to want to learn the business.
