We empower everyday innovators to create no-code apps that harness data, automate processes, and move workflows online.


Knack profile

Knack makes it easy for anyone to build applications and workflows to make their data useful without needing to know how to code. Our customers use Knack to run their processes, departments, or even their entire companies. From small non-profits to large city municipalities, Knack has the power you need to empower your data, but the simplicity you'll love while building out your apps. 

How do you maintain flexibility & balance for your team?

We approach work scheduling and time off a little differently at Knack. We encourage team members (Knackleheads) to structure their work schedules in whatever ways work best for them - even if that looks different from how others operate. We call this work life optimization. Work life optimization is the ability to autonomously leverage flexible scheduling and open time off to empower personal well-being.

How do you ensure autonomy and plan for the future?

We use daily Slack check-ins, all-hand meetings, and weekly update posts to ensure every Knacklehead is on the same page. We employ Slack to keep work moving, but treat it as an asynchronous tool. We're also big believers of sharing work early and often. The earlier you share project updates, the earlier you're able to elicit useful feedback, make decisions, and realign focus if needed.
Deep Work

How does your company try to hire people from underrepresented groups and improve the diversity of your team?

We believe that different perspectives and backgrounds are what makes a company flourish. We're proud to be an inclusive company with values grounded in equality and ethics, where we embrace diversity. We're big believers in putting these values into practices versus merely professing them. 

That said, we know there is ALWAYS room for improvement. We intentionally build out internal processes and systems to unbiased the hiring process, to cast a wider recruitment net, and to ensure every Knacklehead is seen and heard within the company. 

How do you support your team to grow and improve?

Knack is a team comprised of hungry minded individuals. We have several channels in Slack dedicated to fostering personal growth and development including a book club and level up channel. We also offer an annual learning credit stipend and have regular one-on-ones to facilitate each and every Knacklehead's continuous pursuit of growth.

Perks and benefits

We're big believers in providing Knackleheads with the tools they need to be successful. As such, we offer each new hire a MacBook laptop which is cycled out for a new model every few years. We also believe in investing in our teams health and are proud to offer medical, dental and visions plans. Knack covers 75% of the premium for each of these plans, including the cost of adding dependents.
