We’re Dials: Github for property maintenance. Today, huge skyscrapers and hospitals track maintenance items (furnace repair) using legacy “building management systems”. It’s what you’d expect: desktop software, six-figure contracts and multi-year implementation timelines. For the other 99% of buildings, Dials moves all this to the cloud and organizes it, letting everyone work faster, earn more, and take better care of their buildings. The first piece we’re doing is HOA reserve planning, a high-stakes problem that when done incorrectly, causes disasters like the condo collapse that just happened in Florida.
We’re making product design our first hire because we see ourselves as similar to Square: lots of semi-technical users, served by an inexpensive, self-serve product. Product Design will be a key growth driver for the business and accordingly, this position offers a ton of visibility, and room for growth.
You will have broad discretion to remodel, use, or even discard what we’ve built so far. We wouldn’t mind if you want to contribute code but the priority is someone who can work from (and help shape) product requirements, building flows and assets using Figma, InDesign, Photoshop, and other similar tools.
Our founders have 15+ years combined experience in Silicon Valley, one prior exit, and our CTO led the perception team at the company that was first to legally operate an 18-wheel semi truck with nobody in the cab. We’ve assembled a great team of 30+ investors from Stripe, Square, Coinbase, and Heroku, and are a distributed-by-choice company with the founders in different cities. Obviously, we want to make ourselves and our investors money, but we chose this because it’s technically deep, and has the potential to make millions of owners', managers', accountants', and tradespeoples' work lives more pleasant. Aishanou and I creating the sort of place we’d want to work ourselves: clear expectations and reporting lines, respectful, high-caliber coworkers, 45-50 hours/week of work (no weekend work/”crunch time”), and ample mentorship for junior employees.
