• Simple Poll is one of [the most popular apps on Slack](https://slackrank.wilhelmklopp.com) and lets users create simple polls and surveys that are fully native in Slack

• 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)

  • You'll have a lot of autonomy in deciding what to prioritise to further this goal
