About Brightlayer Systems
Brightlayer Systems builds enterprise-grade workflow automation tools that help mid-market companies streamline operations without replacing their existing tech stack. Founded in 2018, the company has grown from a three-person garage startup into a distributed team of over 300 engineers, designers, and operators serving clients across logistics, healthcare, and financial services.
The engineering culture at Brightlayer prioritizes developer experience and shipping velocity. Teams operate in small, autonomous squads with full ownership of their domain -- from design through deployment. Every engineer has a direct line to customers through weekly feedback sessions, which keeps the product grounded in real-world use cases rather than internal assumptions.
Brightlayer is backed by Sequoia Capital and Greylock Partners, and recently closed a $85M Series C round to expand its platform into AI-assisted process mining. The company is headquartered in San Francisco with engineering hubs in Austin, New York, and Berlin.

How We Work
Brightlayer operates as a hybrid-first company. Most teams follow a flexible schedule with two to three anchor days in the office each week, leaving the rest up to individual preference. We've invested heavily in async communication tools and meeting-free focus blocks so that remote days are genuinely productive, not just a string of video calls.
Our offices are designed for collaboration rather than heads-down work. When you come in, you'll find open project rooms, whiteboard walls, and communal spaces built for the kind of spontaneous problem-solving that's hard to replicate over Zoom. For deep work, most engineers prefer their home setups -- and we make sure those are well-funded through our remote stipend program.
