About CoLab Software
Reinventing the way engineering teams design collaboratively. Our mission is to build the future — faster.
Our founders are mechanical engineers who've worked on innovative technology ranging from advanced medical devices and electric cars to breakthrough Hyperloop pod design and billion-dollar energy projects. But across the industry, no matter what tech they worked on, one thing was always the same: every team was stuck using archaic processes for working together—and it was slowing them down.
So, instead of wishing and waiting for a better way, Adam and Jeremy parked their design careers... and started building the tools engineers deserve.
Culture and values
Kindness and Respect Come First
We treat one another with respect.
We are kind to ourselves and others even when times are tough.
We seek to understand, and are transparent when we need help.
We have hard conversations and openly provide constructive feedback.
Ownership mentality
We take responsibility for outcomes and not just outputs: “It’s up to me to close the loop, not just check the box.”
We don’t give up the first time we hit a roadblock. We set clear goals and we stay focused on them until we succeed.
We take initiative, both within and outside our direct area of responsibility.
We operate with a healthy dose of paranoia: never panicked, but always trying to see around corners and anticipate challenges before they derail a product launch, customer onboarding, or sales opportunity
Better Everyday
We’re hungry, eager to solve tough problems, succeed in challenging roles, and work with people that push us to be our best
We make the best decisions we can, knowing no decision is still a decision and forward motion is better. We know that every step forward, big or small, builds momentum.
We strive for excellence in everything we do — we never settle.
We measure our progress — what’s visible can be improved.
One Team, One Mission
We always act in the best interest of our customers and CoLab.
We are the teammate we want to work with — we get what we give.
We are disciplined. We don’t get distracted by shiny objects.
What we look for in candidates
Grit: The average person would think that every job at CoLab is too hard. But if you love a challenge and seek excellence in everything you do, you will thrive here.
Business and technical acumen: CoLab is a complex product with lots of use cases. Our messaging is nuanced. We’re creating a new category of software, and nobody has a budget for it - yet. We’ll train you on how to overcome all of these obstacles, but you must come willing and able to learn.
Coachable team players: We’re looking for people that care about the success of the team as much or more than their individual success. Succeeding at CoLab requires a growth mindset and the ability to gracefully respond to constructive feedback.
Confidence, with low ego: You can hold your own in a conversation with a customer or a vendor. You can clearly communicate feedback to anyone at any level of the company – and you treat each of them with respect.
