Future Opportunities at CoLab

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.
