Droplet provides a suite of document automation tools that helps organizations get the right information to the right people, fast. What started as a web form and approval workflow solution, built for school districts, out of a garage in Provo, Utah, has grown into one of the fastest-growing software companies in the nation! We're a lean team of 30 motivated, hardworking individuals who are passionate about solving hard problems and delivering real value to customers. Our two flagship products, DropletForms and DropletSign, are leading the charge in helping organizations move away from paper-based processes and embrace the 21st century. With strong year-over-year revenue growth, great financial stability (we're profitable!), and many more exciting products to come, Droplet is only just getting started!
Droplet engineering is a small but mighty team spread across the United States. We collaborate heavily in Slack, pair programming, and code reviews. We work with designers and customer success to understand user problems and build the right thing. We try to have just enough process to limit the chaos but not so much that it keeps us from getting stuff done. We value building the right thing well. We iterate on our product, architecture, and skills to get better at all of them. We communicate kindly and clearly in a safe environment.
AI-Enabled Software EngineeringWe use AI to go faster, build more, reduce toil, and deliver higher-quality stuff to users. We care deeply about using AI well. We stay up to date on new developments in AI-enabled software engineering. We try new things and learn from each other. We invest a lot in building systems that help robots build things the right way. We have a ton of rules, skills, linting, and docs that help guide humans and agents to build things the right way, and are always iterating on that. Our current stack is a mix of Claude Code and Cursor for local development, Cursor Agents and Automations for cloud development and background work (incident investigation, Sentry issue fixing, PR feedback and correction, QA passes, etc), and Devin for code reviews.
Tech StackReact, TypeScript, node.js, Postgres, AWS, GitHub, Terraform, and the power of friendship.
