Software Engineer

Full time
Hybrid, three days a week in the office
Eastroom on Claremont St, Toronto

Culture

We treat your time as the scarce asset that it is. We respect people being heads-down and having the time to get into a flow. Distractions and context switching are things we work to minimize. We have meetings for specific purposes, and leverage async channels when appropriate.

Mash has an open and direct culture. We believe that not making a decision is a decision — and a terrible one at that. We have strong conviction and a bias for action. We can agree to disagree, and move forward after reviewing the details. As we learn, we will reevaluate, iterate and push forward.

About Mash

We’re a dynamic team with experience at startups, and scaling products at big tech including Google, Amazon, Ada, D2L, CourseHero, Rakuten, Dayforce, PagerDuty, ROSS Intelligence & Lazer. We have top AI staff, including from programs such as MScAC, and advisors that have built startups and led some of the largest organizations in big-tech over the past 15 years.

We don’t use any seniority titles, and plan not to for as long as feasibly possible (learn more about why).

Mash investors include Whitecap Venture Partners, Castle Island Ventures, Maple VC, Strategic Cyber Ventures, Aquanow, Spacecadet, and angel investors including Sunny Madra (formerly Groq, now NVIDIA), Balaji Srinivasan (former CTO of Coinbase, author of The Network State), Austin Hill (co-founder of Zero-Knowledge Systems and Blockstream), Josh Troy (multi-startup CFO/co-founder, including Urbint) and John Pfeffer (former partner at KKR, co-founder of Pfeffer Capital).
