We're building the support infrastructure for the companies of the next decade.

We're building a new kind of support platform for technical B2B companies. One that speeds you up rather than slows you down, works in all the places where you work with your customers, and is a joy to build with.

We’re assembling an intentionally small, entrepreneurial and product-centric team. Here, you’ll speak to customers every day, take features from idea to shipped on the same day, and be involved in every aspect of building a company.

We can't wait to meet you.

Plain is the support backbone for some of the most ambitious B2B companies on the globe. We help our customers do support faster, better,

We can't wait to meet you.

Working at Plain

Why you should (and shouldn't) join

Do genuinely great work.

We're small, light on process, and hold our work to incredibly high standards on precision, velocity and craft. Building a great product and company is something we take deep pride and joy in.

Build a business, not a utopia.

We need to make money to pay the bills, so every decision also needs to be a good commercial decision. Here, you'll be involved in everything from how we build it through how we market it.

Intentionally, proudly small.

Small teams move faster, so we're building an intentionally small team. Your role at Plain will be that little bit bigger than it might be elsewhere. You'll wear more hats, and stretch beyond the traditional boundaries of your discipline.

Intentionally, proudly small.

High autonomy, high expectations.

We try to hire people with a high amount of integrity and invest a lot of trust in them. We don’t mandate fixed working hours, everyone in the company has access to our company Spendesk, and a personal equipment and productivity budget.

High autonomy, high expectations.

Support is shared.

Staying close to customers is both our product and our DNA. You'll speak with customers every day and take features from idea to shipped in less than a day (and sometimes even within the hour).

Q&A

A peek behind the scenes

Nice to meet you! We're Simon and Matt. We met while working together at Deliveroo, where Simon was one of its earliest employees leading the design team, and Matt had joined to lead its design systems efforts. There, we got the spark for what eventually led to us starting Plain. Below, we've put together some questions we get asked sometimes, and questions we wish we got asked.

Simon Rohrbach

Co-Founder & CEO

Matt Vagni

Co-Founder & CTO

What's your goal with Plain?

What's something you're particularly happy about at Plain?

What's something you're less happy about?

What's the biggest mistake you made since starting the company?

What’s the developer experience like?

Do you actually cook everyone dinner at the end of the year?

Should designers code?

Are you hiring for other roles than the ones listed?

Can the CEO actually code?

Interview process

Fast, fair and transparent.

We want our team to reflect and celebrate the diversity of our society and build a product for everyone - if we fail in doing that, Plain does not deserve to exist. No matter who you are and the things that make you, you - you will be welcome here, and we can't wait to meet you. Here's what to expect from interviewing with us.
