Company mission

Causal is a tool for performing calculations, visualising data, and communicating with numbers. We take the good parts of spreadsheets and combine them with the good parts of programming, to make number-crunching fast, collaborative, and accessible to everyone.

Job

Company

Role

Who you are

4+ Years of Software Engineering Experience: You have a proven track record of building complex products over at least five years in the industry
Startup Savvy: You've gained experience working at a Series A to C startup, thriving in fast-paced and dynamic environments
Backend Expertise: You have practical experience with our backend technologies—including Go, TypeScript (Node.js), Postgres, and Redis
Strong Understanding of Algorithms: You have a solid grasp of algorithms and data structures, particularly graph algorithms
Strong Educational Background: You hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or another quantitative field

Desirable

Versatile Coding Skills: You write clean, maintainable, and performant code but can also move quickly and creatively when the situation calls for it
End-to-End Development: You're comfortable taking features from concept to production, handling everything from defining the technical specs to supporting features once live
Thrive in Ambiguity: You excel in dynamic environments where not everything is fully defined. You confidently navigate uncertainty, take initiative, and make decisions that drive projects forward

What the job involves

Innovate the Future of Data Tools: Tackle complex engineering challenges as we develop our spreadsheet-esque interface that’s backed by a performant calculation engine and data pipelines connected to third party systems. Create a platform that's incredibly powerful, yet highly intuitive
Scale Computation and Performance: Take on the exciting challenge of enhancing the capacity, throughput, and speed of our calculation engine. You'll optimize and scale our systems to handle increasingly complex datasets, ensuring lightning-fast performance and robustness as we grow

Our take

Causal is a tool for performing calculations, visualising data, and communicating with numbers. Causal takes features from spreadsheets and combines them with key parts of programming, to make number-crunching collaborative and accessible to everyone, isolating key inputs and outputs of the model and visualising the dependencies within the model itself. Causal’s vision is to substitute spreadsheets as the de-facto way to work with numbers on a computer.

It is critical for an operator to identify and understand the levers in its business and gut instincts are no longer sufficient to drive businesses forward efficiently. A few key limitations to spreadsheets have also emerged over time, like live data integration, visual sensitivity analyses, accessibility and understandability for non-experts. Causal’s goal is to help its customers in a complex endeavour like building an effective model by making it a little bit simpler, allowing the client to visualise its business and then share it so that others can understand it and provide input.
