WHO WE ARE 🚀
Inventive is an early-stage stealth startup at the exciting intersection of no-code development tools and customer-facing products.
Funded by some of the most successful operators and entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, and started by seasoned data technology leaders from Google, Harvard, MIT, and Stanford, we’re building a platform for data products with the ambition to completely transform the way businesses solve problems with data.
Our customers (“C1”) turn to us because their customers (“C2”) “always want more” – C2 have too many custom data and feature requests that are unique to their business, and C1 have too few technical resources to satisfy their diverse customers’ varied data needs. Through our intuitive, easy-to-use browser based tools, we empower the non-technical domain experts closest to the customer problem to rapidly build high value solutions that unlock smarter business operations and accelerate growth.
We’re on a mission to build a world where everyone can create and capture valuable economic opportunities. We are all inventive, and we strive to unlock the innate potential in everyone.
If you're passionate about democratizing product development and excited about leading this movement with a customer-obsessed team... read on.
THE IMPACT YOU CAN MAKE
We’re looking for someone who is excited about building the platform that will power a novel data product development paradigm and has previously built customer-facing platform software products that users love.
You will be one of our most important builders responsible for laying the technical foundation and vision for a truly innovative product with the potential to transform Enterprise software forever. We can’t build this business without someone like you.
YOU MAY BE THE IDEAL CANDIDATE IF…
None of these are hard requirements, just the kinds of people and experiences we think could be most successful here.
You have significant experience working on data apps and/or data platforms.
You are eager to be a hands-on contributor and actively work with and grow a world-class engineering team around you as we scale.
You are pragmatic with technology choices and can balance the need for velocity and iteration with a strategic, scalable architecture.
You thrive in the ambiguity of an early stage startup and are motivated by continuously improving product market fit.
You have direct experience with building ML systems for improving user experiences.
You are passionate about the impact you can have on bringing much needed development tools to non-technical domain experts across every industry.
You thrive in high performance, outcome-driven work environments.
THINGS YOU MIGHT DO…
Lead projects and ship entire features that will have a massive impact on the business, all with a high degree of autonomy.
Understand key customer needs and propose technology-driven solutions.
Build highly reliable and scalable backend systems.
Drive the strategy and best practices for our services, including architecture principles, testing and CI/CD pipeline.
Set the foundation for a high performance remote first engineering culture.
Work closely with product, design and go-to-market teams to shape and influence our product strategy and roadmap.
WHY YOU MIGHT BE EXCITED ABOUT US
Our mission, vision and plans are ambitious – we plan to make a huge global impact on how companies serve their customers one day soon.
We’re a startup – no bullshit, incredible ownership and sky-high opportunity.
It’s execution time – our CEO & Founder advised 100s of customers facing the problem we’re solving while running Platform and Product Marketing teams at Google Cloud. And our co-founder was one of those customers who faced the challenges first-hand for years at her previous companies. We know what we need to do, and we’re not throwing spaghetti at the wall.
We’ve already raised $1M+ pre-seed capital, we have world class institutional investors excited to participate in our seed, and we are poised to build the single winning company in the space and seize the massive market opportunity.
You’ll get to work remotely and set your own schedule. As we grow, we plan to have a hybrid workplace to collaborate effectively across many work environments.
