Mito is a 3 person team of motivated builders helping companies transition old, manual spreadsheet processes and people to use Python.

We're helping the next 1M Python users get started, and so we've built the Mito spreadsheet which generates Python code as you edit it.

Our earliest customers are some of the largest banks in the US and Canada.

They've trained over 5000 analysts to use Mito, so these analysts can automate their manual Excel reports without waiting months for help from IT.

As such, we're looking for a generalist who can help us take our product from one to two.

This includes helping us build new features, upgrading old features, improving our deployment processes, and building better internal tools to make all of this go faster.

As our first hire, you'll have the opportunity to help build our technical and product culture - we want to build useful, cool shit quickly - and have fun while doing it
You'll also have the chance to work with customers directly to help them succeed.

We do a large amount of work directly with our customers, helping them where the Mito spreadsheet is confusing or incomplete (we are a startup, after all), and using these insights to then improve the product.

You'll help us prioritize what features are most helpful for the users you're working with.

You'll take features from ideation → user research → specification → building → shipping → learning weekly — experience you can only get at a startup our size.

We've been working together in some capacity for the past 10 years, as Aaron and Jake are twin brothers, and all three of us went to highschool and college together.

Our main product is open-core, which means that we do 90%+ of our building totally in public . We are currently a remote-first company, with a team member in SF and two team members in NYC.
Virtually all customer communication is in writing or over zoom. We are a global company, but most of our communication is in English. Clear communication in English is essential.
Although we're a small startup, we're a real company. US employees will be getting health-care, flexible vacation time, hardware allowances, and competitive compensation.

Within the past year, we've raised a round from top investors, including Y Combinator, the Sequoia Scout Fund, and top angels from within the data science and finance space.

In the morning, you might use a chunk of a few hours to implement a specification for a new feature: grouping dates within pivot tables.

This will include writing some Python code to implement the backend, and writing some TypeScript code to update the front-end.

In the afternoon, you'll have some calls with customers, helping them use the Mito spreadsheet to automate some work. In doing so, you'll help two customers.

Since both of these customers needed VLOOKUPs, you spent an hour in the afternoon building a specification for adding VLOOKUPs to Mito.

Know your way around software development.

We've been building Mito for going-on three years, so you'll need to master the codebase as you begin to build on top of it.

Like some structure, but are comfortable with not having a standard playbook for most problems.

You also like putting some structure in place where there isn't any, and are open to trying new things if something isn't working.

Our backend is typed Python, and our frontend is TypeScript/React.
Since we're implementing a spreadsheet, it's also helpful if you have experience with Excel or Google Sheets.
