Fieldbook is a new information tool that combines the best of a spreadsheet and a database. From project management to CRM to inventory databases, we help teams get their operations out of spreadsheets.

We're pursuing a big vision to bring the power of relational modeling to non-technical end users. To do this, we're reinventing the database from the ground up for usability and learnability.
Our four-person team has backgrounds from Amazon, Google, and Facebook. We've raised a total of $2.9M to date and have plenty of runway. Our investors include Accomplice VC, Pear Ventures, Naval Ravikant's AngelList syndicate, Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Steven Sinofsky (ex-Microsoft), Eric Ries (Lean Startup), and John Collison (Stripe).
Tackle fascinating technical challenges, like:
We have a modern stack based on JavaScript (Node, Express, and Backbone). Our data is in Mongo and Postgres. Where needed we also use technologies like Socket.io, RabbitMQ, and Docker. We're set up for continuous deployment with a full automated regression test suite (using Selenium, run in the cloud with CircleCI) and one-line deployments to Heroku, so we can ship code multiple times a day. We collaborate via GitHub and pull requests.
Our values are summarized in these “ground rules”:
This is an early-stage opportunity that is perfect for someone who wants to optimize for ownership and impact.
Unlike many companies, we don't care about what particular languages, frameworks or platforms you know, and we don't hire for “web” vs. “mobile” experience. Instead, we look for people who are smart enough to quickly ramp up on any new technology, and who are ready and willing to jump into whatever part of the stack they're needed on.
We start with an intro call to tell you about us and learn more about your motivation and career goals. The next step is a phone interview, usually talking about your past work and possibly doing a coding exercise. If we both want to move forward after that, we'll have you come onsite. You'll meet the whole team, and we'll take a break in the middle where we all go out to lunch. We test you on job-relevant skills, and we do coding at a computer, not a whiteboard. Throughout the process there will be plenty of time for you to ask questions, as well.
Our offers are fair and transparent, including salary and equity. We'll tell you exactly what percent of the company your equity represents, and we'll explain the details of how it works. We don't haggle, so you don't have to worry that your compensation depends on your negotiating tactics. And we don't make exploding offers—you'll have whatever time you need (within reason) to decide.
