Who we are:
Process street is a no-code workflow platform startup from san franciscoWe help our customers build, document, automate, and track recurring workflowsOur platform stores knowledge where the action happens, ensuring thorough and error free execution of workflows that our global customers run their businesses on.
We service over 3k customers around the world, such as airbnb, spotify and accenture, and are vc-backed by accel, salesforce, and atlassian.
Process street was founded on a strong belief in the work-life benefits of a healthy, collaborative remote cultureWe value flexibility because many of us are parents, travelers, or just creatives who aren`t inspired by the construct of a mundane 9-to-5Spread across 9 different time zones, we communicate asynchronously, work autonomously, and take real ownership of our work.
