Our goal is for you to be the expert on the call and to see what it's like to work with you as the new employee:
Massdriver is changing the way software engineers provision, secure, and observe cloud infrastructure.
We aim to provide all of the benefits of infrastructure-as-code including parity, reproducibility, and auditability in a simple to use diagramming platform.

Hello, weâre Knoetic (<-rhymes with âpoeticâ đ)!
We've raised over $50MM from Accel, EQT Ventures, Menlo, and 100s of angels (like Adam Grant).
Why did these world-class VCs and angels want in on Knoetic?
Because weâre building a âbrainâ for Chief People Officers that enables them to build healthy, productive, equitable workforces â and ultimately shapes the future of work.
How does it work?
The âleft brainâ is Knoetic Analytics â the quantitative insights. We integrate with HR systems (HRIS, recruiting platforms, performance platforms, etc), ingest all that disparate employee data, manipulate it via a complex transform process, and then push insights back to the customer in a user-friendly way. Chief People Officers use Knoetic Analytics to visualize their workforce, prepare for Board meetings, influence their executive team, workforce plan, uncover performance trends, and much more.
The âright brainâ is CPOHQ â the qualitative insights. Chief People Officers join our executive community to tap the wisdom of their peers, find best practices, workshop pressing business challenges, and make meaningful connections. The role of the CPO has never been more complex, and CPOHQ is where they turn to inform the decisions that impact their employees.
By bringing Analytics & CPOHQ together, we give CPOs and their People teams a holistic view of what drives employees to come, stay, and feel valued at work. This is a platform unlike any other.
Weâre building a diverse team of Knoeticons who can thrive in our culture. If you're motivated to improve the work lives of millions of people as part of an ambitious and collaborative team, we'd love for you to join us on this ride :)

We are building out our founding Engineering team. Senior Full-stack Engineers have the opportunity to work across the stack, front to back.
