What they're building

Account executive hiring across London, Chicago, Tokyo and Seoul moderate signal

Today: Visual collaboration for creative work and education (site heading)

Roles: Account Executive - London · Account Executive - Chicago · Account Executive - Tokyo · Account Executive - Seoul

Requirements mention: Sell · selling to schools or Japan offices of education

Inference: the company is adding direct sales capacity in four markets; the Tokyo role explicitly targets schools and offices of education in Japan, while the other three postings give little detail beyond 'Sell'.

A more formal sales operations and contract workflow with a BDR team moderate signal

Today: Free sign-up boards and sandboxes, with a 'Get a quote' link on the site

Roles: Sales Operations Manager · Business Development Representative (BDR)

Requirements mention: run global sales operations · quotes · POs · invoicing · contracts · DPA negotiations · Manage a team of BDRs and Sales Operations · Use AI to effectively and accurately query the data warehouse · Identify and generate new leads

Inference: the company appears to be building quote-to-invoice and contract handling alongside outbound lead generation, which the postings support but do not describe in detail.

iOS and Android app development moderate signal

Today: Visual collaboration for creative work and education, per the site

Roles: Software Engineer – Mobile

Requirements mention: iOS · Android · React Native · Swift

Inference: mobile engineers are being hired in both San Francisco and Singapore, which suggests mobile is an active build area.

New product and feature design across mobile and web, with design leadership hiring moderate signal

Today: Boards and sandboxes for visual thinkers and learners

Roles: Senior Product Designer · Product Designer · Head of Design

Requirements mention: Design of new products and features across mobile and web · Coach less experienced designers · Leading the design of new products, features, and marketing assets · Hiring more designers

Inference: the company is expanding its design team to lead new products and features across mobile and web, based on the Head of Design and Senior Product Designer postings.

Customer support coverage in San Francisco and London weak signal

Today: Free boards and sandboxes used by 40 million people, per the site

Roles: Customer Support Associate · Customer Support Associate - London

Requirements mention: solve customer inquiries via phone, email · Identify, document and follow up with engineers on product bugs and features

No inference drawn; two support roles in two cities show support staffing and bug escalation to engineers, with no further direction stated.

Where the headcount is going

DepartmentOpen

18 postings, of which 2 are general 'A Job Not Listed Here' applications, leaving 16 named roles: Sales (6), Engineering (4, two titles each posted in San Francisco and Singapore), Design (3), Customer Experience (2) and Growth & Marketing (1), with 2 opened and none closed in the last 30 days.

Who they need

Seniority: Mostly mid-level: 11 mid, 3 senior, 2 junior and 2 unknown (the unknowns are the two general-application postings).

Skills named most: Sell, React Native, Swift, iOS, Android, Typescript, Ruby (Rails), Elixir (Phoenix), Python, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Snowflake

Locations: Locations named in postings: San Francisco, London, Tokyo, Seoul and Singapore, plus a Chicago account executive role whose location is listed as Remote. Four roles are flagged remote (Customer Support Associate - London, Account Executive - London, Account Executive - Chicago, Account Executive - Tokyo). None of the engineering or design roles has a remote flag.

How to use this

If you're applying: Match your experience against the quoted requirements before applying. The Tokyo account executive and Sales Operations Manager roles name specific experience; the other account executive postings say little beyond 'Sell'. Check the remote flag on each posting, since none of the engineering or design roles states one.

If you're selling or recruiting: Two roles opened in the last 30 days (both customer support) and none closed; most postings date from 2025 to early 2026. The company is hiring a Sales Operations Manager who will own sales tooling, automations and the BDR team, so tooling decisions may sit with that hire once filled. Account executive hiring in London, Chicago, Tokyo and Seoul, with an education focus in Tokyo, is a reasonable opener for outreach.
