[ Why TextQL ]
Build Something That Matters
We're solving a trillion-dollar problem.
Every F500 company spends $250M+ annually just moving data between systems. We're building the unified engine that makes all of that waste obsolete.
We're a small team with big ambitions. Everyone here has real ownership and real impact. No politics, no busywork, no middle management, just hard problems and the hungry, talented people who want to solve them.
[ Values ]
What We Believe
We believe meaningful values require honest trade-offs.
Effective values acknowledge what you're choosing to prioritize and what you're willing to sacrifice for it.
For example, "move fast and break things" is a clear value because it explicitly chooses speed over perfection when decisions need to be made.
In contrast, "we work hard but maintain good work-life balance" lacks clarity because it doesn't acknowledge the inherent tension between intense commitment and personal time boundaries.
[Having Ownership]
• Focused on the outcome and not the output
• Take ownership for losses as much as for wins
• Get revenue share in the work you do
Tradeoff: We choose shared accountability over protecting you from business stress. You'll hear about company struggles, not just wins.
[Having Self Awareness & Realism]
• Understand the tradeoffs you're making
• Understand when someone else is better suited for a given task, and delegate it to someone else
Tradeoff: We choose honest feedback over comfortable stability. You might be moved off projects when someone else is better suited.
[Having a Sense of Urgency]
• Constantly asking "how can we achieve the same outcome with less work"
• Prioritizing getting it right over getting it scalable
Tradeoff: We choose speed over polish. We'd rather ship something imperfect we can learn from than perfect something that might be wrong.
[Having Integrity]
• We trust you to act in the best interests of the team over yourself
• We don't have admin policies to stop you from rent-seeking our HR policies
Tradeoff: We choose trust over process. No policies guarding against abuse—just the expectation that you'll act with integrity without oversight.
[Having Drive & Aggression]
• Winning does matter, and you're always striving for more
• Always push for the extra mile, always looking at the next highest peak
Tradeoff: We choose growth over comfort. Your role and expectations will constantly evolve—less stability, more opportunity to stretch.
Sound Like You?
• We're always looking for exceptional people
• No open roles required—reach out anyway
