Description:
###About The Company###
Baton is on a mission to enable entrepreneurs to be better managers and leaders through best-in-class operations management tooling. We are on track for a January 1, 2021 launch and will have a complete low-fidelity prototype by the end of October.
Start up founders are told insistently that they need to “do things that don’t scale” in order to get their product to market successfully, but what happens when they get there?
Their codebases are undocumented, not under version control nor covered by tests, and are ‘hacked together,’
Their operations processes are scattered and inconsistent,
Their customers operations are a constant explosive crisis, and churn threats are a daily struggle, and
Their product and design decisions are ungrounded and incorrectly prioritized, forcing engineering to collect product killing bugs in backlog in order to push out non-core features like “dark mode”
Baton is the anti-startup. We have 3 years of runway and we aren’t afraid to use it. We don’t need Venture Capital so we don’t have investor pressure. We view every 60 hour week as a failure, instead of something to valorize. And we focus on doing our work the Right Way, instead of the expedient way.
We are looking for talented individuals who are fed up with the status quo to join our engineering and product development team to solve technical and operational challenges. If you believe that technology can reduce the barriers to successful entrepreneurship, then please reach out.
