What the job involves

- 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 be part of a remote team located in the USA. We have a collaborative, “teach and learn” culture where the role evolves with your interests
- Develop features for our next generation market intelligence platform on a small Agile team. Areas of ownership include authentication and Single Sign-on

Our take
Market research is a vital part of any large-scale business's strategy, but obtaining the usable intelligence can be time-consuming and complex. CB Insights solves this problem by providing enterprises with effective and actionable market insights.
CB Insights leverages a mixture of machine learning, algorithms, data and visualizations in order to give companies a fuller picture of the market. This has helped set it apart from rival firms, and allowed it to accrue an impressive client list that includes the likes of Microsoft and Wells Fargo.
In 2022, CB Insights was offered a $100m acquisition fee, but its leadership declined, testament to their confidence in the company's value. Its newsletter readership figures, turnover and client roster reinforce this view, and will no doubt give CB Insights an advantage in the years to come.
