Culture

Why Spreadsheets?

Spreadsheets are one of the hardest things you can build — right up there with compilers. To succeed, you need technical excellence on the backend, paired with utter obsessiveness on the frontend, partnered with a genuine empathy for users. As scaffolding for the mind used by more than 1 billion people, spreadsheets are one of the few applications that can have a universal impact on people's daily lives.

Sourcetable is a spreadsheet that syncs with your data. Our goal is to democratize information access so everyone can understand their data and make better decisions. We are a group of experienced founders, engineers and designers on a mission to build products to reach this goal. Execution will demand focus, resourcefulness and creativity. A good sense of humor helps too, but is not required.


Simple is hard

For most people, accessing their data in a spreadsheet is just far too hard using existing solutions. This is such a common yet overlooked problem that we're rebuilding spreadsheets from the ground up with data as a first class citizen. Some might call this excessive, while many simply won't understand. We know it's worth sweating the small stuff when it comes to making things simple.


Bay Area

Our AI-focused product team is based in San Francisco and works together, in person, as often as possible. We believe in-person is the best way to create a strong culture in a fast-moving and creative space. We are not hiring remotely for engineering roles, and generally prefer contractors to be based locally too.

Sourcetable cannot provide visa sponsorship.


Company Culture

This may mean nothing, and it certainly isn't required, but we have observed the following cultural notes:

  • Most have started companies, and those who haven't were on founding teams.
  • Most of us have either started or lived in a co-living space at length.
  • Most of us are burners (late August / early September is something of an unofficial company holiday).
  • Everyone is highly technical, even those in non-engineering roles.

Our stated company values, picked up at the dinner table, are "work hard, be nice". These will improve over time, I'm sure, but they are good enough for now.

We want people who can do excellent work and make good judgement decisions without requiring a lot of management. A good sense of humor is definitely helpful too, because we're going to spend a lot of time together!


Startup

Sourcetable is funded by top-tier investors and founded by industry veterans. We are a small, experienced team looking to bring on a small group of unique, exceptional individuals. If hard work and hard challenges appeal to you, reach out.


Customer service first

Everyone answers support tickets.

Staff Level Full Stack Engineer (React / Python)

The Job

We are looking for a spectacular engineer who lives and breathes Python and React.

We have a strong preference for people who have proven experience working in small startups and on hard things. Half our team have founded companies before.

If you are someone who understands scalability and performance - join our startup.


Why work with us?

Spreadsheets are one of the hardest things you can build. They are used by over 1 billion people, and are a core technology used to improve thinking and coordinate society and commerce. Capitalism runs on spreadsheets.

The technology world is in the middle of a platform shift. We are outperforming and rapidly outpacing the features of the incumbent spreadsheet providers. We are best positioned to be a core pillar for future AI applications and workflows.


What are we building?

We are building the world's first AI native spreadsheet. Today, Sourcetable helps you do better work, faster. Our goal is for the spreadsheet to do all your work for you.

Think 10x larger, 10x faster, 10x easier computation than anyone can currently do.

Imagine a world where people don’t program, or rely on sophisticated no-code or zero code algorithms (or salespeople slipping people new fads) but a proven, actual, accessible way for people to manage their finances, integrate all of the SaaS tools in the world, and make it easy for people to understand their world in a more meaningful and elegant way. Easy.

You'll be required to take a technical leadership role in specific areas (ML, Permissioning, etc.) and adapt to specific requirements rapidly as they become a priority.

You'll also be maintaining the existing application and architecting many of Sourcetable’s spreadsheet functions.

You'll be responsible for then building out the front-end to complement your backend work and take full responsibility/ownership for each feature.

The role requires creative implementation of specifications while working closely with the rest of the engineering team to ensure awesome outcomes. Sourcetable is an environment where developers can write clean, encapsulated and tested code that results in a great product.

We’re looking for engineers who bring new processes and ideas to the organization and can use open source and cloud technologies to solve technical challenges. Sourcetable’s mission is to make data accessible to everyone. We believe great user experience starts at the architectural level.

Product Marketer at Sourcetable - Bridging Data with Dynamic Storytelling

The Job

At Sourcetable, we provide a groundbreaking spreadsheet platform that integrates with a variety of business applications and databases. Our tool is pivotal for streamlined report automation and accessible business intelligence.

We are searching for a product marketer who not only excels in spreadsheets but also brings a unique set of skills to the table. This role demands the video production prowess of a seasoned YouTuber, combined with the ability to educate and engage customers like a charismatic presenter.

The ideal candidate will create and tell stories from scratch, with little input from the rest of the team. This will involve working with data, datasets, databases, and our data-oriented SaaS products. We have a lot of ammunition to work with including great features, AI, and a ground-breaking product.

There is also a lot of mundanity, minutia and data wrangling in this role that is — frankly — not fun, and we won't be training you for. You need to already have experience doing data work, and will be expected to drive the creative and technical processes from start to finish with little external support.

You will work closely with the founders on editorial feedback, brand narrative, and product presentation. Otherwise, you will work with a high degree of independence.

Key Qualifications:

  • Exceptional skills in spreadsheets and data analysis.
  • Professional-level expertise in video production, capable of creating top-tier product marketing videos.
  • A YouTuber-like personality: engaging, creative, and capable of captivating an audience.
  • Experience in customer-facing product education or similar roles.
  • Proficient in digital content creation and social media marketing, especially LinkedIn.

What You'll Do:

  • Craft innovative marketing strategies that leverage Sourcetable's unique capabilities.
  • Lead the production of high-quality marketing videos that resonate with our audience.
  • Use your charisma and creativity to engage and educate our customers.
  • Analyze market trends and data to drive informed marketing strategies.
  • Ensure a cohesive and compelling brand message across various platforms.

At Sourcetable, your creativity, analytical skills, and passion for storytelling are not just valued — they're essential. If you're ready to blend data with dynamic marketing and lead our efforts to new heights, we want you on our team!


What we value
  • Startup experience; passion for technology and data-driven strategies.
  • Engaging and creative approach to marketing and problem-solving.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines effectively.
  • Proactive, with a strong problem-solving approach.
Part-time, Full-time, Contract
  • We're looking for the right person who can commit 20+ hrs/week.
Compensation
  • Commensurate with your ability and capacity
  • Meaningful equity
