Our take
Mural is a virtual collaboration platform that caters both to the increasing demand for visual work methods and the shift towards remote working. Functioning more like a team- or business-wide whiteboard than a chat room, it is part of a developing trend away from single-channel platforms like Slack and towards a more integrated collaborative workspace. Founded in 2011, Mural is an early entrant in an increasingly crowded field which includes rivals such as Gather and Tandem. However, it stands out with the flexibility of its approach to multi-functional virtual spaces and range of integrations. This has allowed it to gather a large customer base in a diverse range of companies including IBM, Autodesk and SAP. The company boasts strong development, securing multiple funding rounds early in its journey that grew its valuation beyond $2 billion. It has since successfully found a more mature direction through leadership changes and a rebrand, continue its growth in a new phase for the company.
You'll be working on

- In the near term, you’ll take our AI native product from early access to a product that customers rely on every day, raising quality, reliability, and speed as more users come on board
- Expect a very hands-on role
- You’ll review PRs, set the technical standards the team builds to, and stay close to the code and architecture decisions
- You’ll also keep the team’s pace high and sustainable while building a high-performing team in a remote-first way
- Lead, hire, and grow a team of full-stack engineers through regular 1:1s, clear expectations, coaching, and performance management
- Own delivery end to end with a fast, experimental loop: ship early to real users, measure what works, and iterate quickly without losing reliability
- Partner with Product and Design as co-owners of the Compose roadmap, using customer feedback and usage data to decide what to build, cut, or double down on
- Raise engineering craft across testing, observability, and AI-assisted development, and model Mural’s remote-first, work-in-public culture at a sustainable pace
