Dealnotes | Founding Full-stack Engineer | Remote

Dealnotes is building a productivity tool for B2B Sales professionals to automate note-taking and post-meeting action items. We believe sales can be approached in a repeatable, scientific manner and we aim to give Account Executives the tools to do so.

We're looking for our first full-time software engineer that will own the development for our web application. We are a fully remote team and do most work asynchronously, with the exception of planning meetings, etc.

We are looking for people who value empathy. Our biggest driver in how we operate internally and how we build our product is empathy. We're strong advocates of creative simplicity - creating new ways to make people's lives easier by having a deep understanding of their problems. If this interests you, please reach out to email: elissa and then our company website @dealnotes.io
