About the role

🤩 What is Haystack?

Glad you asked! Haystack helps build elite developer teams by providing engineering metrics and alerts proven to drive performance, improve software reliability and prevent developer burnout.

Through integration with GitHub, Haystack is able to provide live data insights that illustrate the entire delivery process from commit to deploy, being able to highlight bottlenecks like code review and team productivity. Using this feedback loop, Haystack users have increased production deployments by 58% and achieved 70% faster cycle times on average 📈

In less than 12 months since launch, Haystack is being used by more than 7,000 developers at elite developer teams in GoDaddy, Microsoft, The Economist, Indiegogo and Truebill among others as revenues have increased by an average of 36% month on month 🔥

In June 2021, Haystack announced it had secured a US$1.2m funding round after graduating from Y Combinator’s W21 batch.

🦸 Team & Culture

Here are some of our core values to give you a sense of who we are as a team

  • Visibility - default to openness
  • Everything is an experiment - reduce decision fatigue, move quickly
  • Mistakes are okay - we learn, improve, and get better. No mistakes means we're not moving quickly enough
  • Default to action - everyone empowered to make decisions. Don't get blocked
  • Learn quickly - if we're not learning, we're not growing
  • We build a healthy business - burn money, raise money isn't the goal. Money only fuels a great plan

  • Flexible working hours. Yeah, it’s truly flexible.
