Careers
Help build the tracker that tells the truth.
We're a small, senior team building project management and a desktop work tracker on one core — priced flat, secure by design, pre-launch. We hire deliberately, and we'd rather meet the right person early than fill a req.
Remote-first · async by default · early-team equity
Why here
A short list of real reasons
No foosball, no perks brochure. The case for joining is the work itself, the people you'll do it with, and the stake you'll hold in the outcome.
Ownership
You build what you decide
The people designing features ship them. No throwing specs over a wall, no committee between you and the code. Small team, real surface area, decisions that stick.
Craft
Senior peers, high bar
Everyone here has built and operated production SaaS before. You'll do the best work of your career next to people who hold the same standard you do.
Focus
Remote, async, deep
Distributed by default. We write things down, default to async, and protect maker time over meeting calendars — the way we want every team using SpiralDeck to run.
Stake
Early-team equity
Join while it's small and own a meaningful piece of what you build. We're pre-launch — the upside, and the responsibility, are real.

How we hire
A process that respects your time
Four steps, paid work samples, no unpaid take-home marathons. We aim to give you a clear yes or no quickly, either way.
Say hello
Email us with what you do and why this problem interests you. A few lines and a link to your work beat a formal cover letter.
A real conversation
A call about your experience and what you'd want to own here — and your questions for us. Two-way from the start.
Show your craft
A paid work sample or a walk-through of something you built. No multi-day unpaid take-homes, no trivia gauntlet.
Meet the team
Talk with the people you'd work with day to day. If it's a fit on both sides, we move quickly to an offer.
We read everything that comes in. If there's a fit, you'll hear from a person — not an autoresponder.
