Customer Support Specialist
About Plane
Plane is an incisive response to config-heavy, opinionated, and restrictive project management software. Check out our website.
In just two years, Plane’s grown to #1 in its category on GitHub and become a viable open-core alternative to Jira, Monday, Wrike, Asana, ClickUp, and Linear, not to mention all-in-one tools like Notion or Obsidian.
Our growth has come on the back of the product’s true flexibility without artificial limits, simple configurations that work out of the box, and thoughtfully packaged features that nurture our customers’ growth instead of punishing it.
As a modern product start-up, we obsess over new and power users equally. Our mission is to empower teams everywhere with the simplest, most delightful work management experience on the planet. Our vision is to become the WorkOS of the future with a workbench of unified tools and techniques that intuitively and progressively form a greater whole for knowledge workers.
We’re well capitalized, backed by OSS Capital, and are revenue-positive. Our coworkers include ex-Microsoft, Deloitte, [24]7, Nutanix, and Yahoo! in our 50+ strong human force today.
