About Blue Canvas
Our mission is simple: empower the next wave of software developers.
We help developers in the Salesforce ecosystem write code. Their
current workflow is stuck in 1999: No source control, tedious manual
deployments, no roll back, and code clobbering. To address this problem,
we built a hosted service with automatic source control that "just
works", and modern tools to review and deploy updates. We are in a
growing, opportunity-rich enterprise market: For every $1 paid to
Salesforce, $3 more are spent on customizing it.
So far we have hired slowly because we believe in maintaining
high-revenue per employee. We admire companies like Basecamp, Kinsta,
Mailchimp and Atlassian more than venture funded companies that have
emphasized growth at all costs. We believe in profitability and culture
over spending and headcount. We are funded by customer revenue and
Indie.vc who shares our values around avoiding raising massive amounts
of dilutive capital.
We are a fully remote team. We believe that flow is what makes people
happiest at work and strive to set up schedules and projects to enable
deep work.
Who are we looking for?
Engineers who think about how software is made. If you were excited
when GitHub released pull requests, you enjoy well-written API docs, and
you think of command-line tools as a design discipline, we want to talk
to you. You'll be most effective if you've previously worked with
orchestration tools like Terraform or Puppet, built systems on Docker,
and you're comfortable writing shell scripts, Python, and Go (or related
languages). If "Plumbing and Porcelain" makes you immediately think of
"Git", we'll have lots of fun together.
Our current team is: 2 engineers and 1 business person. Our stack is
primarily Go and Python (Node.js developers interested in learning Go
should also apply). You’ll get to work directly with the CTO on
important technology decisions.
As an early employee you will get to help shape the technical product as well as the company culture and vibe.
