instructure - Founder, Instructure Foundry

• A builder’s instinct and a commercial mind in the same person — a design and engineering sensibility paired with a feel for what customers will actually pay for. • Evidence you’ve shipped something real and put it in front of customers, ideally something you started or owned, not just contributed to. • The judgment to work across product, sales, marketing, and support without waiting for a function to do it for you. • A bias for the customer over the org chart. • The range to build and sell well enough that a two-person team is genuinely enough. • Prior startup or zero-to-one experience helps; a track record of finishing helps more. • Speed over polish. You validate with real customers in weeks, not quarters. A working prototype in front of a customer beats a perfect plan every time. • Conviction you can defend. You can hold a strong point of view about a problem and still change it the moment a customer proves you wrong. • Comfort with the gates. The go/no-go gates are real, and your pod can be folded or consolidated at a checkpoint. You’ll run toward those checkpoints, not away from them, and treat a fold as information, not failure. • Ownership of outcomes, not hours. Nobody will hand you scope. You’ll define it, defend it at the board, and answer for the result. • Get in on all the awesome at Instructure! • We offer competitive, meaningful benefits in every country where we operate. While they vary by location, here's a general idea of what you can expect: • Competitive compensation, plus all full-time employees participate in our ownership program - because everyone should have a stake in our success. • Flexible work culture.
