About Dashworks

Dashworks is an intelligent assistant designed to integrate with your workflow seamlessly. It connects with your work apps to instantly answer work-related questions, generate content, debug code, summarize emails and projects, find documents, and more. It's like having a copilot for work that's just one click away.

We’re on a path to redesigning the future of knowledge sharing at work. We have a unique opportunity to build a category-defining product (and company!) that millions use daily.

We have reached a pivotal stage in our journey:

• After launching ourknowledge assistant for work in July, we're now growing our customer base and product rapidly. We've successfully secured deals with notable companies, including Swiggy and Podium.

• We also released some case studies of customers like Podium and HeyGen automating up 80%+ of their Slack questions using Autopilot.

• We've raised over $9.5m from top investors in Silicon Valley, such as Y Combinator, and founders/operators from companies like Dropbox, Retool, and Twitch.

• We have a small but exceptional team with high talent density from Stanford AI Lab, Meta AI, and Glean.

Joining right now would mean you ride the wave of explosive top-of-the-funnel growth yet get meaningful equity in a pre-series A startup.

Our team's mission is to make humanity omniscient with an AI that can answer any work-related question. In this role, you’ll explore and push the boundaries of what’s possible with ML and how it can improve our daily work lives. As an early engineer to join our team, you'll have the opportunity to materially impact and scale the company's product, team, and culture. You'll get to drive key product initiatives end to end and work alongside exceptionally strong co-workers who learn quickly and ship quality work.
