• Over the course of a year, Simple Poll has millions of users (you will help us grow that number!)

• Tom (who represents half of our engineering team and spends his days architecting, building and iterating on the product)
• Charles (who is in charge of Support, Sales, Business Development, and Compliance)
• Wilhelm (me! I mostly spend my time writing code and doing all the many other things that need to get done)

• The primary goal is to significantly increase our MRR and growth rate
  • You'll have a lot of autonomy in deciding what to prioritise to further this goal
