Company mission
Klue's mission is to enable revenue teams with the insights they need to win, when they need it, and wherever they live.
Role
Who you are
- Right now we are looking for a Senior-level Back-end Engineer
- Expertise in at least one of the general programming languages, with a strong preference for Python
- Expertise in relational databases such as PostgreSQL
- Experience in designing REST APIs
- Experience using Docker, Kubernetes, and GCP
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to work with our Win-Loss team to deliver high-quality products in the most efficient way
- The team is building our win-loss product which is aimed at helping Klue’s customers understand why they win and lose deals
- To date we’ve delivered on basic reporting of pre-existing win-loss research, deep CRM integration, automated survey workflows and video upload and transcription for capturing raw win-loss interviews
- What we’re building next are tools for doing deeper analysis of that data and making it easier to reach buyers to generate net new insights
- Combining these win-loss insights with all the other competitive intelligence that Klue provides is how we’ll ultimately help Klue win
- We are a small team of experienced engineers who work closely with product and design to deliver impact continuously and incrementally. The team is generally light on process but with big expectations of keeping a high cadence and avoiding blockers. We also use unstructured learning time baked into our schedule which we use to explore new tech and reinvest in our skills and tools
- The type of work. Challenging, stimulating and meaningful work. New and relevant tech stack. We know engineers/developers especially want to work on hard technical and innovative problems
- The inspiration from skilled and proven leaders
- Entrepreneurial fingerprints on what will be a future billion dollar company anchored in Canada
- Culture, team, and the work environment
- High degree of autonomy and accountability
- High degrees of transparency and high quality communication
Application process
- All interviews will be conducted via video calls
Our take
The integration of market data into the many functions of enterprise has been a consistent trend in SaaS markets for a number of years. Klue is taking a similar approach for teams looking to understand competitive landscapes.
The startup is uniquely attempting to create a new category of ‘competitive enablement software’. Whereas other software companies sought to fix a company’s business intelligence needs or content placement strategies, Klue brings all of these services together under the lens of competitive positioning.
Klue plans to find ways to reduce the burden of collecting intel and also automate insights. The company wants to introduce deeper integrations with enterprise tools like Slack, Salesforce, Gong, Highspot and Gainsights.
The biggest risk facing the company is that their product is currently more enterprise friendly, supported by customer specialists. For the software company to achieve true scale, they will want to democratise access to competitive enablement with a self-serve software available to small businesses.
