    What We Do

    We are building Grist, a relational spreadsheet.

    Grist combines the best ideas of spreadsheets and databases into one user-friendly, flexible tool. Its goal is to save people time, and give them confidence and power over their data.

    What is Special

    Grist, unlike a typical spreadsheet, embraces structured data, which includes most business data: customers, inventory, tasks, expenses, classes, sheep, you name it -- it is completely general-purpose. It lets people use it as a custom application without giving up the flexibility of a spreadsheet.

    You can view a demo, or try it on your own.

    Moreover, Grist is now open-source.

    Where We Are

    Grist has been out for about a year and gaining traction among small businesses and individuals. We get many feature requests, including plenty of engineering challenges. Talented engineers will not be bored.

    Our team is very small: you can expect to be working for some time in a team of about 5 people.

    Whom We Seek

    Bright software engineers with a strong computer science background. We require a solid foundation in computer science and good problem-solving skills. We prefer knowledge of TypeScript, Python, and SQL to help hit the ground running.
