Mote Technologies Inc. - remote jobs

Mote is a startup creating software focused on helping teachers to provide fast and friendly feedback for their students. Our vision is 'a world that learns faster through feedback', and our ambitions are enormous. We've raised a first round of funding, and we're now cash-flow positive with >100% month-over-month revenue growth. We believe private, personal, empathetic audio feedback is a powerful and under-utilised tool in other verticals, but - before we invest elsewhere - we want to patiently build on the product-market fit we have already established in the education vertical. Today, our core product is our Chrome extension for creating voice notes - check out our website to learn xmore. We have 400k weekly users in schools and colleges around the world, and we are growing very fast, partly driven by remote- and hybrid-learning driving technology adoption. We are also welcoming dozens of schools and hundreds of individual users every week as new paying customers. We’re a remote team, but we’re human too, so we do plan to all meet up at least twice a year in person, preferably somewhere warm and interesting. And we believe being off-topic, random, even funny, in Zoom is more than fine. How we work Flexible hours, it’s 2020: It’s far more important that work is done well than what times of the day it gets done or whether other important things in our lives (eg family, health, errands) briefly interrupt them.  Limited synchrony: We believe as a small startup that speed of alignment is our greatest super-power, so we are looking for people in European time zones to maximise opportunities for mutually conventing scheduled or ad hoc conversations. We like Clubhouse for features and bugs, Google Docs for longer specs, Sketch for mockups and Slack for qq’s, but sometimes one can beat the higher bandwidth communication of Zoom, At least one weekly goal setting meeting and daily engineering stand ups are the norm. Goldilocks process, conscious discipline: We instinctively resist process accretion but recognise some process is a necessary evil with scaling. We are very mindful of minimising “non-making things” overheads. When it comes to growing codebases though we accept that agreed discipline on coding style, pull requests, test coverage, continuous integration cause more good than harm. Low ceremony, high user focus: We align on high level goals monthly and weekly, but reserve and exercise regularly the right to swap some of these out with more tactically valuable outcomes as we hear from our users or observe system metrics. On a day-to-day basis, we follow a process most closely resembling Kanban.
