minware

We started minware in 2021 to build an engineering data platform. Our platform gives development teams the metrics they need to see how their work impacts projects, all without changing their existing workflows. We use a time-native data model to connect information from code, tickets, and other sources directly to development issues.

Our key reports include Work Time Breakdown, Coding Time Traceability, Sprint Performance, and Ticket Lead Time by Status. We help improve the development lifecycle by offering insights into:

• Quality: tracking bug rates and time-to-fix.
• Efficiency: analyzing cycle times and task sizes.
• Predictability: comparing progress against plans.
• Value: tracking engineering time against delivered value.

We help teams debug bottlenecks by building a complete work timeline from Git, ticket, and meeting data, using a patent-pending time model. This means no more manual time tracking. Users can customize reports with our editable builder, breaking down metrics by historical fields. Our minQL engine lets users create custom metrics with formulas, pulling data from various sources, including custom CSV/JSON uploads, and supports advanced SQL features.

minware integrates with Git (GitHub, Azure), ticket (Jira), and calendar (Google) systems, as well as custom CSV/JSON formats. You can view reports in our dashboards, export them as CSV, or connect them to other tools using our minQL-based ODBC driver. The platform is designed for enterprise environments and includes dynamic table caching, custom data integration, identity and team management, role-based access control, and an on-premise ingest agent. We are AICPA SOC 2 Type 2 certified.

Our mission is to help people understand the impact of issues through better data models.

Our values, inspired by Netflix’s culture, guide how we work:

• Skepticism: We question the status quo to improve continuously.
• Transparency and Candor: We share information openly for better decisions and faster learning.
• No Egos or BS: We avoid pretense, jargon, and unnecessary complexity.
• Freedom & Responsibility: We lead with context, supporting decentralized decision-making.
• Minimalism: We focus on what adds customer value, eliminating the rest.
• Compassion: We prioritize health and happiness, treating everyone with respect.

We are a 100% remote company, hiring anywhere in the U.S. Our founders, Kevin Borders and a co-founder, previously worked at another all-remote company, which shaped our bootstrapped, remote-first approach. We even use our own product internally to ensure efficient software development.

Our team, currently 11-50 employees, is growing after seeing initial customer success. We value people who are dedicated to software engineering, eager to help others, and live our core values. Our internal processes are designed for full visibility into software development.

We offer competitive pay, benefits, and significant equity grants for early employees. Our team members also get to help shape the future of software engineering.
