Equals | https://equals.com | ONSITE (New York City) | Full-time | Software Engineers and Product Managers

We're building a new spreadsheet, connected to your Stripe, Salesforce and Hubspot data, and your SQL warehouse. We're used by companies like Notion, Intercom, Descript, Attio, and more.

I sincerely believe we have some of the most interesting technical work you'll find at a company of our size (17 people). Building a spreadsheet in the browser is hard!

For our PM role, you'll be our first PM and own a very very broad surface area.

Backed by A16Z and Craft. Team is ex-Intercom, Amazon, Meta, etc.

PM Role: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/equals/c936a100-5cf5-4f7b-8e65-ef94... Eng Role: not posted yet but email [email protected] if interested

If this is something you're struggling with... It's one of the core use-cases we're solving for at Equals (https://equals.com).

We sync your Stripe data to a data warehouse and give you an MRR by customer by day table. You can use this table in our data connected spreadsheet to report on your business.

Hi! Author here. The principles are roughly ordered from start -> end of a project, with the exception of the last. Principle 6 is specifically about how something is built, the preceding ones are about what to build. I can see how it could be a bit unclear.

Total number of activations went down.

We aren't trying to hide anything, just tried to share a single number.

Hi HN, I’m one of the founders here at Equals.

We've been building Equals – a next gen spreadsheet with data connections – for a few years now. Making Equals fast is a constant stream of work and we've had to solve some pretty interesting problems, we thought it'd be fun to start sharing some of our learnings here.

Our most recent bottleneck was our formats system. The hard thing about formats in a spreadsheet is you can apply them to hundreds of thousands or millions of cells at once. Formats aren't just a presentation concern, they are also the spreadsheet's type system and thus affect the speed of all calculations. The linked post here is by Mike on our team describing the computer science behind how we finally made formats fast.

We shared one of our previous launches on Hacker News [1] and so thought this might be of interest too. Would love to hear any thoughts or feedback.

Ben
