About the role
About the company
Superset is building self-improving software. It starts with giving engineers the best tools that adapt to their needs over time. Today, tens of thousands of engineers run Superset as their primary IDE, at companies like Wix, DoorDash, and Netflix.
We’re building a flat and talent-dense team, and we’re looking for people who have crazy ideas and are crazy enough to ship them. If you want to build a product you love to use, come build it with us.
About the role
We are looking for a founding engineer who will own a large chunk of the product suite from idea to production. This role is perfect for someone who works well autonomously, ships quickly, and has strong opinions.

•
Set up systems and processes to help the team ship faster.
•
We’re a source-available company, so your work is public from day one.
About us
The team includes 3 ex-YC CTOs, building a product that we love to use. We believe in hiring the smartest people and trust them to own the work. We’re building a talent dense, deeply technical team. We like to win, ship, and have fun.
