Some of what's true about companies never shows up on the open web: it lives in official registries, investor lists, datasets in every shape imaginable. You find those sources, make sense of them, and turn them into usable data. Each one you bring in is in production within days, sometimes hours, and the graph knows companies it didn't know yesterday.
Who you are
- You own your work like a founder owns a product.
- A growth mindset, able to capitalize on unprecedented contexts through your skills and abilities.
- A strong problem solver, visible in the way you deal with the tension between brief and shipping.
- Resilient, especially in front of failure, the kind that always comes paired with pioneering work.
- An appetite to grapple with a variety of technical challenges.
What you'll do
- Stay on the lookout for new datasets (registries, investor data, business data in any form) and judge which ones are worth the effort.
- Make sense of each source, normalize it, and integrate it: every dataset arrives in a different shape, and yours is the judgment that turns it into usable data.
- Monitor the pipelines you've built and fix them when they break: whenever a format changes, or the quality drifts and only someone looking at the data would notice.
- Pick the fastest honest path to get data in: crawl the source directly, put our AI tooling on it, or build the missing piece yourself.
- See each dataset through to the end: in production, checked, and usable by the rest of the company.
What we look for
- Basic coding skills and SQL, you'll pick up everything else here.
- The instinct to actually look at the data before trusting it: a shifted format, a column that's suddenly empty, a number that can't be right.
- Comfort with sources that are messy, undocumented, and different every single time.
- Resourcefulness: when the obvious way in doesn't work, you find another one.
- Ease working with AI tools as a normal part of how you work, and the judgment to know when and where to double-check them.
What we offer
- Fair, market-aligned base, ESOP tied to impact (for permanent roles), and a high salary growth rate tied to performance.
- Decisions that would need three approvals elsewhere are yours to make, and yours to answer for.
- Growth at the pace you can take, and responsibility that expands as fast as you prove you can hold it.
- What you build lands in front of some of the largest companies in the world, often within weeks.
- Steep learning curve, no matter how experienced you are, with people who've climbed it a desk away when you're stuck.
What we expect in return
- High tolerance for ambiguity, marked by your ambition to push forward with incomplete information.
- High speed and uncompromising quality in your work.
- The ability to quickly and effectively evaluate technical tradeoffs and translate them into relevant scenarios
- Genuine aversion to any customer or colleague struggling with something you delivered.
- Ask what would make it ten times better, starting with your own work.
We currently work in a hybrid setup, with 2 days remote / week. The 3 months probation period is fully onsite.
