What We’re Building
Weave is rethinking engineering output from first principles.
We use AI to:
Understand how engineers actually work (not just what they ship)
Surface meaningful insights about productivity, quality, collaboration and impact
Help teams improve outcomes without vanity metrics or surveillance
Our goal is not to optimize for “more output,” but for better engineering.
The Team You’ll Work With
You’ll work directly with:
Andrew (CTO) – previously a founding engineer at Causal, MIT alum. Andrew has been in your shoes and is deeply committed to providing the mentorship, ownership and growth he had as an early engineer.
Adam (CEO) – leads sales and customer discovery. Adam is a former sales executive at multiple high-growth startups and deeply embedded with customers and scaled multiple sales teams from $0-30M in ARR.
This is a small, intense, highly collaborative team. You will have real ownership from day one.
Must haves
- You are a good fit for Weave if you are a formidable engineer. This means you stop at nothing to accomplish your goal. We don't care much about your current skills or even what you've done before; we care that you will be able to do anything you set your mind to.
- You must also be pragmatic. Weave is a startup so something is always on fire. You need to know when to let little fires burn and when to break out the extinguisher.
- You must have experience with shipping ML systems to production, end to end. From selecting an appropriate data set, to feature engineering, to model design, to deployment & iteration.
- You must be a very good engineer who's committed to becoming a great engineer. The slope is more important than the Y-intercept.
- You must be empathetic. We're building products for other people, so you need to be able to understand how other people think and why.
- You must care about helping other software engineering teams be great. If that's not an exciting mission for you, it will be hard to stay motivated through the inevitable highs and lows.
- You must be an excellent communicator. You'll be working on a product that's communicating with millions of engineers and leaders, so you need to be clear.
- Finally you must be gritty. You should be accustomed to picking the hard option and pushing through it.
Nice to haves
(Please feel free to apply even if some or all of these don't apply to you!)
