At Pylon, we're building the future of B2B Post Sales.
We’re building an all-in-one support platform powered by conversational data and layered with intelligence to help our customers run their operations in real-time. We’re backed by YCombinator, General Catalyst, and a16z and have over 500 B2B companies trusting Pylon to power their customer support and success.
This is a fully in-person role; we do not offer remote or hybrid options.
