About Our Client

They are an early-stage startup company, focused on bringing simplicity and transparency to the data we process - our first, wildly growing, market is Cannabis.

Our vision is to be the world’s software platform of choice for laboratories. We are used and loved by laboratories throughout the US and are quickly out-growing even our most optimistic projections. Within a few short years, we’ve already disrupted this space, and we are looking for talented, passionate, people to be a part of helping us take us to the next level and achieve that vision.

We love trying out new ideas, breaking things, seeing what works, and exploring cutting-edge technologies. We are absolutely passionate about changing the way consumers engage with products and helping scientists with the most intuitive, efficient software to help communicate valuable information to consumers.

You will be part of a small but passionate team building the systems and features that will drive our continued innovation of this rapidly growing industry and of laboratory sciences for other industries in the future.

Why Us

Unlike other early stage startups, our client has done no funding and is completely profitable. They already have 10s of paying customers and have been going for 5 years strong. So there are no VCs or anyone else to answer to, and product-market-fit is already defined.

In addition to the security of product-market-fit their Founder and CEO values sustainability and happiness of his employees immensely. He is actually one of the lowest paid employees on the team and works long hours with the Director of Engineering, so the rest of the team doesn’t have to. Their engineering team works the average 40hours a week. Here you can join an early stage company where you have enormous impact and influence with confidence in the stability of the company and being valued by the company’s leadership.
