Want to build a product that uses data to see and make sense of the future?

If you are a passionate coder who wants to make an impact working on a product that clients love, we’d want to talk with you.

At CB Insights, we build products that help clients make sense of the future and drive their businesses forward using data. Our system retrieves large amounts of structured and unstructured data, uses scientific methods to extract knowledge and insights from the data and presents the data through a sophisticated dynamic user interface which enables the user to find answers to their most important questions.

As a Senior Software Engineer at CB Insights you will be part of a cross-disciplinary, self-motivated team with clear ownership and passion to form the future using state-of-the-art technologies, writing quality code that ships often.

Our backend software engineers work on creating robust services and scalable data processing jobs.  We focus on modularity and reuse where it makes sense while ensuring that there are no constraints to delivering world-class software continuously.

You will join a remote-first team, and can work from anywhere in the USA (with the exception of a few states).
