Slab

About

At Slab, we are on a mission to make the workplace a source of learning and purpose. We believe that writing is the best way for teams to retain and share knowledge. Since the beginning, we've been fanatically focused on building the best knowledge base for every team. 

As an engineering team, we deeply care about solving our users' pain points as well as our engineering quality. We thrive on learning from each other. In particular, our frontend team is responsible for delivering the experience that our users love. You'll be joining a small group of very experienced frontend engineers working on our React-based web app. We also maintain the most popular JavaScript WYSIWYG editor, Quill.

We are backed by top-tier investors, including Matrix Partners, CRV, and NEA. Today, Slab is trusted by thousands of teams, such as Asana, Vox Media, and Vevo.

    • Stay lean - We strive for the greatest possible impact with the fewest number of employees. We empower our teammates with the most leveraged tools and efficient processes.

    • Think rigorously - We act and execute after careful thought and examination of known information, while acknowledging the risks we accept in its absence.
    • Say no - We aim to deliver exceptionally high value in a small set of focus areas. We willingly abstain from good ideas to give only the most promising paths the attention they deserve.
    • The best prevails - Whether an idea or an individual, the best will rise to the top at Slab. Ideas we pursue can come from anywhere, and individuals gain responsibilities due to outperformance.
