Haast funding & investors

Should you work at Haast?

Probably, if you want remote work out of Sydney or New York. Haast raised a $17M Series A, offers equity consistently across engineering, GTM, marketing and customer success, is remote or hybrid on all 11 roles, and gives engineers direct architectural influence and customer contact rather than ticket work. The gaps: only one posting lists a salary, roles are framed as high-stakes and high-performance, most applications require written work beyond a CV, location rules vary by role, and we hold no verified employee reviews.

Good fit if

  • Recently funded Series A with named institutional investors, stated across most postings.
  • Equity is offered consistently across engineering, GTM, marketing and customer success roles.
  • Engineering roles are described as high-autonomy with direct architectural influence rather than ticket work.
  • Engineers are told they will interact with customers and shape the roadmap, not just build to spec.

Think twice if

  • Roles are explicitly framed as high-stakes and high-performance, which may mean heavy demands.
  • Little existing process; several roles require building the function from scratch.
  • Ambiguity tolerance is a stated requirement in multiple non-engineering roles.
  • Most applications require extra written work beyond a CV.

We can't tell you

  • What managers are actually like day to day
  • Attrition, tenure or promotion rates
  • Whether the pace is sustainable
  • Equity terms — no posting states them

What the job descriptions ask of you

A reading of how 11 postings are worded — not a score, and not comparable between companies.

Pace Fast

Postings repeatedly ask for people who have worked at speed and expect fast shipping.

You've shipped in fast-moving environments. You know what it takes to move without sacrificing reliability.

MeasuredFast

Autonomy Self-directed

Engineers are expected to operate with minimal direction and make decisions themselves.

Engineering-driven culture. No red tape. No performance theatre. Just shipping. We hire smart people and get out of their way.

DirectedSelf-directed

Structure Ambiguous

Processes and playbooks are still being written; several roles are asked to create them.

Operating System: Define the playbooks and processes that let us scale 10x without burning out

AmbiguousDefined

Ownership End-to-end

End-to-end accountability is stated as the core expectation across engineering and implementation roles.

You take full accountability for the features you build, from initial discovery with the product team to deployment and monitoring.

NarrowEnd-to-end

Collaboration Cross-functional

Most roles involve working across product, engineering, sales and directly with customers.

Collaborate cross-functionally: with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to sharpen GTM playbooks and positioning.

IndependentCross-functional

The upside

Stated by Haast in its own postings.

Recently funded Series A with named institutional investors, stated across most postings.

We recently closed a $12M USD Series A (Peak XV Partners, DST Global, Airtree)

Equity is offered consistently across engineering, GTM, marketing and customer success roles.

Equity & Upside: We believe in sharing our success with the people who build it.

Engineering roles are described as high-autonomy with direct architectural influence rather than ticket work.

We aren't looking for "ticket-takers" or builders who wait for a specification document to get things going.

Engineers are told they will interact with customers and shape the roadmap, not just build to spec.

Own the technical relationship with key customers; implementing solutions, gathering requirements, and translating feedback into product improvements

Salary is published for at least one engineering role, giving a concrete band.

Salary range - $180-220k USD + Equity + Benefits

Remote and hybrid options exist depending on role and location.

Flexible work: US remote or Sydney Hybrid

The trade-offs

Also from the postings — not complaints from employees.

Roles are explicitly framed as high-stakes and high-performance, which may mean heavy demands.

High Growth, High Stakes: We are a high-performance team. If you are a top performer, you will find more opportunity here than anywhere else.

Little existing process; several roles require building the function from scratch.

You need a fully built content engine to plug into, this role is building it.

Ambiguity tolerance is a stated requirement in multiple non-engineering roles.

You can walk into a messy situation, identify the root cause, and create order from chaos.

Most applications require extra written work beyond a CV.

Apply with: 1. Your CV 2. A brief note on this question

Compensation detail is absent from most postings; only one lists a range.

Salary: Competitive base + uncapped commission

Location constraints vary and are not uniform: some roles are Sydney hybrid, others US-only remote.

Flexibility and community. Hybrid from our Sydney office, flexible hours

Employee sentiment
