What We Do
At Unthread, we’re solving an evolving, yet pervasive, challenge: support is broken. The way customer support teams and internal teams like IT, HR, and Operations manage workflows has failed to keep up with modern business needs—especially for teams living in Slack.
We’re here to change that. By deeply integrating with Slack and leveraging AI-powered automations, Unthread helps teams bring order to the chaos of support conversations—whether it’s managing external tickets or internal IT or HR requests. We don’t just automate repetitive tasks; we structure workflows, enabling teams to focus on solving real problems efficiently.
Today, forward-thinking companies like Langchain, Apollo GraphQL, HubSpot, Lemonade, and Automattic all rely on Unthread to ensure their support runs smoothly, both inside and outside their organizations.
Why Join Us?
Joining Unthread means jumping in at exactly the right time. We’ve already hit product-market fit, built a lineup of incredible clients, and are positioned for rapid growth across both internal and external support ecosystems—spaces desperately in need of innovation.
This isn’t just about AI hype (though we’re certainly pushing boundaries). By joining us, you’ll help redefine how support functions across organizations, empowering teams to be more efficient and effective.
Here’s why you’ll love working at Unthread:
-
Make Your Mark from Day One: We’re a company for builders. Whether you're architecting, developing features, or influencing the product vision, your contributions will be felt immediately. There’s no back seat—every engineer takes the lead.
-
AI and Beyond: Our platform’s AI-driven features (such as ticket deflection and proactive insights) are just one aspect of what makes Unthread exciting. We're tackling not just AI challenges but also reimagining how IT and customer support should function fundamentally. From optimizing Slack integrations to scaling systems for a growing client base, you’ll be solving complex and impactful problems across both AI and the broader support landscape.
-
Immediate user impact: Few things compare to deploying a feature and seeing users respond enthusiastically. Whether it’s an HR team improving their efficiency or a support agent resolving tickets faster—**every line of code matters** and directly changes how teams operate.
-
A product you'll truly believe in: Unthread was born out of a lightbulb moment, when we realized we’d solved a challenge that people instantly connected with. It’s a fantastic feeling—being on a team that knows it’s building something users love—and you’ll be part of that excitement daily.
