Evidence is an open source web framework that’s designed for data analysts. It's a modern alternative to drag-and-drop BI tools and Jupyter notebooks.

Evidence enables data analysts to build automated reports, analysis and tools that feel like they came from the graphics department at a top-tier publication. All with skills that data analysts already have: SQL and markdown.

The founders, Sean and Adam, spent the last five years building a large data science operation at a leading financial firm. We’re driven by deep empathy for both data analysts and the decision makers who rely on them.

We are a fully remote YC-backed company, founded in Toronto. We are well funded and backed by leading silicon valley VCs, and some of the best founders and technical leaders in the industry.

We’re on a mission to enable data teams to build great information products for their organizations and their customers. To do that, we’re combining the best of modern web frameworks and BI tools into a unique, opinionated open source tool.

This is a big challenge filled with fascinating technical, developer experience, and user experience problems to solve.

We have been thrilled with the reception to our tool from data teams at large enterprises, unicorns and startups. In order to keep up, we need a great visualization engineer, with a strong point of view.

We are well funded by top investors, with growing revenue and years of runway.
