At Warp we are working on a holistic rethink of how the command-line ought to work, building a new Rust-based terminal that keeps what’s best about the CLI while modernizing and upgrading the experience. It’s fully-native (Rust-based) and GPU-accelerated. Rather than a single buffer, we are dividing terminal output into a sequence of commands + their outputs that we call blocks. We are replacing the character buffer with a normal text editor and equipping it with intellisense-like autocomplete. Warp is modernizing the command line experience to make it more intuitive and collaborative for modern developers and teams, turning the terminal into a real platform to enable engineering workflows. Our mission is to elevate developer productivity, and the team is excited to have this opportunity to radically improve a tool that every developer uses and fundamentally change how software development and devops are done. We are a company run by product-first builders, building a core product for all developers. We are committed to understanding our users deeply. We believe we will ultimately build the best product and business if that team includes developers and designers from a wide range of backgrounds. The early team comes from Google, Dropbox, Gem, LinkedIn, and Facebook. We are looking for passionate individuals to join us and help bring Warp to the world.
