The magic of small teams can exist at any organization.

We started Span to address a pattern we'd all lived: as teams expand, context is buried under layers of meetings, tools, people and process. Things begin to stall in the "outer loops" like prioritization, allocation, collaboration, and management—areas where mistakes and inefficiencies are arguably more costly.

Resourceful individuals who thrive in a high agency environment.

Have been a founder, seed-stage design/engineering hire, or have launched your own project before.

You have strong product sense and can prove it.
