Introduction The magic of small teams can exist at any organization. We started Span to address a common pattern: as teams grow, context gets buried under layers of meetings, tools, people, and processes. This leads to stalls in areas like prioritization, allocation, collaboration, and management, where mistakes and inefficiencies are costly. We are creating a new type of tool that provides coherent and useful software engineering context for humans and agents alike. We believe this will enable ownership, autonomy, and superhuman impact within engineering organizations. Our Vision Engineering leaders can understand their most valuable resource—team time—and invest it intentionally, uncover hidden costs of toil, and unlock their team's true potential.

Everyone in the organization can have an intuitive understanding of ongoing activities, empowering better decision-making, confident operations, and predictable delivery.

The hours spent on tagging, status reporting, and coordination meetings are automated, freeing people to focus on meaningful work.

Responsibilities In this role, you’ll: Contribute to projects like: A product that identifies KTLO (Keep The Lights On) work and recommends solutions.

A software catalog that functions for monoliths and is user-friendly.

Helping to protect engineering focus time by systematically addressing distractions or mental load using AI.
