Founding Product Manager

Causal

Vision

We're building Causal to solve the most irritating and intractable problems we've had in building software: crappy, messy data generated by tracking code that's difficult to maintain, code that's so full of old ideas and branches that adding to it is a nightmare, and a general feeling that all the work we were doing to optimize our products might be adding up to nothing.

Our first product is an integrated set of product analytics and feature management tools for deploying, measuring, and optimizing product features. It is designed for companies who need to ship and iterate quickly. Teams start by creating a schema that describes what data needs to be collected from a product feature, and what data a product feature needs to display to a user. From there, Causal provides an integrated set of tools to gather and deliver product data quickly and accurately, to launch and monitor new features safely, and to run fast, effective experiments on features. Using Causal helps teams to write more maintainable code, collect better data with less effort, and optimize their products more effectively.
