Here’s some quotes from real customers about working with Success Engineering:
“The Metabase Success Engineering team is amazing! Outlier in the industry, IMO”
“Tony really took the time to understand our issue and explain things with the perfect level of detail. Just brilliant”
“Incredible help as always from Luis. Not joking, he’s the best contact we have out of all of the vendors I’ve communicated with. Understanding, courteous and resourceful!”
“LeAnn clearly went above and beyond on a bit of an esoteric issue I ran into while casting dates and trying to join questions. We confirmed it was a bug, and I'm hopeful the team will respond quickly to this issue, but I have an exceptionally good interaction with LeAnn and really appreciated her expertise with the product.”
“It was awesome: Zoltan suggested a solution I hadn't asked for, or had even expected. And he quickly fixed the issue for me.”
If there's anything more you'd like to tell us about you or your interests, use the "additional information" section on the application page. We are real humans looking at applications and we love to hear what you have to say!
We're a global team (50% outside the US), fully distributed (from Thailand to California), who get things done asynchronously, with plenty of uninterrupted time, supporting each other to do the best work of our careers. We offer flexibility (define your own schedule and work from wherever you want), autonomy, and an environment that fosters growth, learning, and development. We're relentlessly user-focused and believe in building long-term value, not short-term hacks. And we raised a $30M Series B to take our approach to the next level for years to come.
