About us

Common Room is the customer intelligence platform that captures every buying signal, giving companies superpowers with AI enrichment and automation to reach the right person with the right context at the right time.

Despite an explosion of buyer signals, companies are left struggling with siloed point solution vendors, bloated tech stacks, and unactionable "intent" data. Common Room brings together all the buying signals you care about in one place so you can track the entire customer journey, match signals to real people and accounts, take action and automate.

We’ve raised over $50 million from top-tier investors including Greylock, Index, and Madrona to build the world's first customer intelligence platform for modern B2B companies. And we’re backed by 25+ operators from the fastest-growing companies in the world such as Figma, Stripe, Airtable, Slack, Notion, Loom, and more.

You + Common Room? You’d be joining a team that revels in asking hard questions, collaborating gladly, and making decisions quickly—a team that values simplicity, passion, trust, each other, and our customers above all.

So hello! Please, knock on our door. We'd love to meet you.

Why we need you:

Your ability to work at the intersection of data science and software engineering while collaborating directly with customers and their data is your superpower. You’re able to leverage your strong statistical foundation to understand business needs, and to help derive meaningful insights from large amounts of data. You’re comfortable running one-off data assessments or building ML-based scoring models using data - customer obsessions is your north star as you dive deep into problems and propose novel solutions.

Outside of this, you also identify and participate in important company-building initiatives that a fast growing startup needs.

You would enjoy being a member of our team if you:

  • Have 3+ years of experience building data or/or ML-based models leveraging industry best practices.

  • Have exceptional SQL skills and experience with large-scale data transformation.

  • Can shape the future of Common Room’s data capabilities by integrating data science into our product development process.

  • Partner with customers to solve unique data challenges to optimize their workflows, and validate methodologies to develop pragmatic, scalable solutions for customers.

  • Partner with the product team to convert data insights into product improvements

  • Don’t hesitate to dive into unfamiliar data and shape it to a familiar form that can be manipulated and reasoned on, and capable of making high quality technical and non-technical tradeoffs

  • Operate independently, but don’t hesitate to seek help and support from those around you to get your job done

  • Revel in your craft, are excited by and capable of owning large projects primarily in the front-end domain

  • Bring your authentic self to work, and engage in candid + respectful feedback

  • Build sustainably, and are capable of managing your time and priorities as best suits your needs

  • Enjoy the journey as much as the destination, but never lose sight of the destination

  • Demonstrate pride, ownership, and accountability for your work, and expect the same from those you work with

Our current tech stack:

We choose tools that help solve the problem at hand efficiently. For our current set of problems, we prefer to primarily use TypeScript with Node.js. We use TypeGraphQL for our API endpoints, Kafka for event processing, Apollo/Express as our web server, and Postgres (hosted on RDS) + ClickHouse as our database. We use React for front-end, and AWS for our infrastructure needs. Our data is house in Snowflake, and use Python for data related work. We have infrastructure capable of running ML-models on AWS SageMaker or other platforms.

Our values:

  • Be Customer-centric - We work backwards from the needs of our customers. The crisp articulation of customer value guides our decisions.

  • Strive for Simplicity - We choose simplicity over complexity whenever possible. We seek to identify and understand the essential quality of what we are building.

  • Make it Happen - We are quick to take the first step, and prioritize decisiveness over fear of making a mistake. We don’t confuse motion for movement and we measure ourselves on impact over actions.

  • We’re In this Together - We measure personal success by the success of our customers and teammates. Relationships matter, and the strongest ones are built on the foundations of trust, enablement, and transparency.

Our benefits:

Our investment in caring for our employees and their families is a key part of our values and culture at Common Room:

  • Competitive base compensation with meaningful equity ownership

  • Health insurance including medical, dental, and vision, HSA and FSA

  • We pay 100% of your employee premium and 50% of your premium for any dependents

View company profile

Common Room was born from a vision to revolutionize how companies connect with their communities. Founded in February 2020 by a team of four seasoned tech veterans from the Seattle area – Linda Lian, Francis Luu, Viraj Mody, and Tom Kleinpeter – the journey began with a shared understanding of the evolving landscape of software adoption and customer engagement. Linda Lian, with her background at Morgan Stanley, Lookout, Madrona Venture Group, and Amazon Web Services, recognized a critical gap: companies needed a way to unify and understand the myriad of interactions happening across diverse community platforms. Her initial concept, a 'Slack-forum baby,' evolved through conversations with B2B SaaS founders who highlighted the need not for another community channel, but a way to integrate existing ones.

This insight became the cornerstone of Common Room. Linda reached out through LinkedIn to find her co-founders. Francis Luu, a designer with a decade of experience at Facebook, was the first to join, bringing his expertise in user experience. Viraj Mody, who had led engineering teams at Convoy and Dropbox and was a founding engineer at Audiogalaxy, brought his deep technical leadership as CTO. Tom Kleinpeter, a former principal engineer at Dropbox with a history of successful startups, joined as Chief Architect. Together, they embarked on a mission to build an intelligent community growth platform. The company emerged from stealth mode in April 2021, backed by significant funding from prominent investors like Greylock, Index Ventures, and Madrona Venture Group, signaling strong belief in their vision. Common Room's platform was designed to integrate with popular communication channels like Slack, Twitter, Discord, and GitHub, providing businesses with a unified view of their community, enabling them to identify champions, gather product feedback, and ultimately drive growth through genuine engagement. The platform helps companies make 'community' a competitive advantage by fostering connections and surfacing valuable insights from user interactions.
