About the role

Nearly all our largest competitors are massive products built over a decade ago, and require the support of large services organizations to operate-- our goal is to do whatever's necessary to get users an equally powerful computer automation platform they’ll actually be able to use by themselves, and extract immediate value from.

Your role

Your work will without a doubt make a direct contribution to our core platform and our customer experience. This is a pretty technical role, so you’ll need to be willing to work across and make tangible progress across a variety of technologies, including an Electron desktop app (built with Vue.js), and a Python backend.

Qualities we’re looking for

You can evaluate and are honest about how much your work is moving the needle for the business at any given point in time, and are actively interested in contributing to movement on every front.

You are bringing/can develop meaningful opinions about this platform and RPA, and mostly undirected, you could conceive and execute on meaningful additions to our products with business value at will.

You hide technical complexity, not behind it, even if it might make us look behind in the short term. It saves much time if we can consistently focus on tangible product/business movement, and not on the weeds of new tech.

Skills we’ll need

Strong knowledge of core JS, Vue, and Python at a minimum, and an ability to source/learn/implement libraries quickly

Strong design sense and a high bar for features that you work on and that you're willing to release

We’re also excited to see…

Experience working on Electron applications

Experience building Chrome extensions

Experience building no-code interfaces and application logic for “editor” applications

Impressive Python projects
