You will probably like working with us if...

1) You like the ownership, camaraderie and chaos of a start-up environment

Start-ups are not right for everyone. Things move quickly and change frequently. Start-ups haven't made it yet. We have to convince customers we are valuable enough to them. We must be scrappy and flexible. Everyone will wear lots of hats.

But: if you have future aspirations of being an entrepreneur or leader, you'll find few better learning grounds. You'll learn by doing. You'll be given a ton of trust and responsibility. You'll see very transparently how we operate and make decisions. Your work will absolutely matter to the success of our company.

2) You value learning and have a growth mindset

Sundial is founded on the idea that slope is far more important than intercept. We are a learning environment, and all of us have something to teach and learn from each other. We invest heavily in learning sessions, sharing insights, and reflecting on our growth. We are also very well connected within the open-source frontend developer community (React, next.js etc) and lean heavily into that network to learn and make good decisions. Wondering what went into designing d3Let's get on a call with Mike Bostock. ;)

3) You're interested in understanding how companies grow, and how data plays a role

Unlocking the secrets of data is our bread and butter. How do successful companies growHow do different types of businesses create value for users in an economically scalable wayIf you find this area to be as fascinating as we do, that's awesome, because you're going to become an expert in this domain. :)

4) You love to solve engineering problems at the intersection of data science and design problems in the booming data analytics space. Data scientists unlock the secrets of data using complex algorithms. We believe that how they are presented are as important as the quality of secrets themselves. This poses novel and unique engineering challenges that require a creative and inquisitive mind for solving them. Some of the challenges are building a platform that enables many different ways to explore and explain the data.
