At CB Insights, we build software that predicts business and technology trends to help clients make sense of the future and drive their businesses forward using data.

Our tech culture promotes openness, collaboration and knowledge-sharing for a productive and successful workplace. Our career progression framework ensures that our engineers are confident in their goals and are able to plan steps to achieve them.

You will get to directly impact our platform and the entire engineering organization of an established startup.
