Company mission
To help engineering leaders continuously improve.
Our take
Athenian is a data-enabled engineering platform that analyses a customer’s software delivery workflow and provides them with insights, providing new ways to drive business impact.
The company is not alone in trying to provide analytics for software development, but competitors like Jellyfish and Code Climate, which focus on individual performance, are criticised for feeling like surveillance software for employees. Its reach is wide; by integrating with GitHub, Jira, and CI/CD tools, Athenian gives engineering leaders end-to-end visibility into their entire development process.
The founder of Athenian has very specific rules for who can invest in his company; hence it is likely that recent seed funding will be fully optimised for company growth. This is also a marker of the ambitious and confident business model he has laid out, one which does not settle for anything below standard.

Company values
- Athenian is a fully remote company. At the moment, we are 25+ people from diverse countries working together in a distributed way. Hours are flexible, and you set your schedule. Freedom comes with responsibility, and we focus on outcomes
- We value collaboration and feedback, whether from our CEO, product or engineering teams, or customers because we know that the best ideas can come from anywhere. We also strongly believe in transparency, which reflects how we operate internally and externally
- We believe in moving fast in the right direction, velocity > speed. We play to win and empower our team members to make brave decisions quickly (when easily reversible), allowing us to positively impact our clients and reach our goals
- We need to be loud in a space that is just starting and where Athenian can play a critical role. We play to win because we believe the way we do can have an incredibly meaningful impact on engineers' lives everywhere
- We are kind-hearted and care about each other's growth and well-being. We work as much on our craft as on our body and mind. And we do it as a team
- We are inclusive and welcome diversity. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply
