Fieldbook | San Mateo, CA | Software Engineer | Full time | https://fieldbookapp.com

Fieldbook is an information tool that lets you track and organize anything in simple data tables. It's for anyone who is frustrated with using a spreadsheet like a database – to track projects, sales leads, recruiting, or anything.

Demo video (3 minutes): https://fieldbookapp.com

Our mission is to allow anyone to create a database, just as easily as they can create a spreadsheet. To do this, we're rethinking what a tool for working with structured data should look like, from the ground up.

The founders are Jason Crawford (CEO) and Ben Bernard (CTO); both have strong technical backgrounds and leadership experience at companies including Amazon and Google. Fieldbook's investors include Pejman Mar Ventures, Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Steven Sinofsky (Microsoft) and Naval Ravikant (AngelList).

We are building an ownership culture where employees take pride in their work and put the customer first. If you are a versatile, full-stack engineer, there is a window of opportunity now to join us in making this vision a reality – and to have a big impact on the product and on the company itself.

Unfortunately we don't support remote employees right now.
