"I've been hesitant to hit the gas with Zapier. But now knowing Switchboard's there, an external source monitoring things, I'm ready to go" - Switchboard customer
Weâre building meaningful software, and that gets us excited. Non-technical teams are using tools like Airtable, Zapier, Integromat and Tray to eliminate manual work and turn their teams into automated powerhouses. One of the biggest things holding them back is being able to rely on these no-code tools for critical infrastructure. Thatâs what weâre working on.
Weâve built the first error monitoring solution for no-code - letting users of Zapier and Integromat know when thereâs an issue with their business-critical automations. We help teams collaborate on a fix the same way Pagerduty has helped address downtime in dev teams - assigning incidents, resolving problems, and documenting how future errors get fixed.
But error monitoring is just the first step. How do we bring the full suite of dev ops principles to no-code?
THE TEAM
Our engineering team is the perfect mix of curious developers and no-code pioneers. We use the latest frameworks not to chase trends, but to sharpen our skills as engineers and stay on the forefront of the industry. We work asynchronously, actually. Two meetings per week, and we heavily rely on Slack, Loom, Linear and Notion to keep us all informed while giving us the time to plug in, without distractions, to do our best work.
THE COMPANY
Weâre a venture-backed, seed-stage company with a collaborative team of 9 and growing. Weâre remote-first, with offices in Atlanta and San Francisco. Most of us enjoy traveling, and we get together in-person in fun places for our company off-sites at least twice a year. We offer a generous stipend to get the office of your dreams set up in your house, and will pay for a co-working space in your area if youâd like. Weâve got great benefits packages, no-questions asked vacation policies, and donât ignore HR like many startups do.
We care about each other and value the different perspectives all of us bring. We arenât afraid to give each other feedback and work hard to ensure weâre building a culture thatâs inspiring and cultivates space for growth and learning.
THE ROLE
We are looking for a talented front-end focused React developer to join our team.
