At Supernova, we’re on a mission to supercharge the productivity of product teams by eliminating tedious, time-consuming tasks, and rekindling the joy of creating exceptional user experiences. Our platform automates and streamlines key aspects of product development, with a particular focus on design systems and their seamless integration across the development lifecycle.

Founded in 2018, and after years of research and development tackling some of the toughest challenges in the industry, Supernova is rapidly becoming the platform of choice for many of the world’s most innovative and impactful companies.

From the very beginning, Supernova has been a remote-first company. Our team is globally distributed across 11 (and counting!) countries, bringing together diverse backgrounds and extensive experience collaborating with product, design, and development teams. We are at the most exciting point in Supernova's history—experiencing significant growth of our platform, welcoming top-tier companies, including Fortune 500 leaders, securing substantial investments, and preparing to launch an exciting new product feature focused on [redacted 👀] that will revolutionize how products are developed in the future.

We plan to invest heavily into the AI to help us maintain the product as well, giving you a unique opportunity to work with bleeding-edge technologies at scale and lead us into the future.
