Our goal at CommandBar is to improve how software works for everyone. We build a widget that any software company can embed in their app to enhance user experience, making it easier and faster for users to get stuff done.
We serve millions of end users monthly and work with customer-obsessed companies like ClickUp, Gusto, Netlify, AngelList, Shortcut, OneSignal, and many others. We're proudly backed by Thrive Capital, YCombinator, BoxGroup, and world-class angels.
CommandBar is a platform for helping software companies make their software easier to use (aka a “user assistance platform”).
How many times have you been frustrated by software?
Maybe you didn’t know how to make the software do what you wanted, so you had to wade through pages and pages of support documentation to figure it out. Or suffer through a sassy chatbot. Or worst of all, maybe you were bombarded by a bunch of unhelpful pop-ups prompting you to TAKE A TOUR and CHECK OUT WHATS NEW.
These unhelpful experiences (the help center, the chatbot, the popups) are trying to solve a real problem — we use so many tools today that it’s hard to master every one. But sadly these techniques for helping users are ineffective and annoying.
CommandBar makes any software product simpler, faster, and personalized.
We do this by embedding experiences in our customers’ products that actually guide and assist users. Some of these work by capturing the users’ input directly and responding with personalized results (like a custom walkthrough or a clip from a training video). Others work by proactively nudging users (but only when we think they’re likely to find it helpful).
Today, CommandBar serves over 25M end users from forward-thinking SaaS companies like Gusto, Hashicorp, Netlify, Freshworks, and AngelList.
Despite that big number, we're a small team of 35 today that's just beginning to grow, which means tons of opportunities to do trajectory-altering work (for the company’s trajectory and your own). If you're inspired to upgrade how humans use software, come join!
You’re probably really talented. Why should you take your talents to CommandBar? Here are reasons we think working with us is uniquely high impact — on the world and your career.
The main reasons for joining CommandBar are belief in our product and the opportunities for growth described above. That said, our benefits are pretty sweet 🙂 Overall, we believe in benefits that respect individual choice and reflect the fact that optimizing your life outside of work leads to better performance at work.
The salary range for this role is $140,000 to $200,000.

What will help you succeed:
Do I need any specific knowledge / frameworks?
We’re currently staffing our teams with fullstack engineers; none of us specialize. Being generalists has allowed end-to-end ownership of large projects; at our size and scale this has enabled us to move quickly.
However, we do organize into 3 sub-teams that have different spikes and own different areas of our product. If you spike as a product-oriented engineer, a backend or infrastructure engineer, or as an AI-passionate (or AI-curious!) engineer, you’ll gravitate towards a role in the team where you can spend most of your time in your zone of genius.
