Our platform monitors 5,000+ live government data sources, 100,000+ federal and state agencies, and 2,000,000+ government contracts in real time.

We're looking for someone who is technically curious, learns quickly, and enjoys figuring out how things work. Experience with web scraping is helpful, but strong software fundamentals and a willingness to dig into unfamiliar systems are equally valuable. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN You’ll see how a high-velocity startup builds trustworthy data products: defining reliable processes, anticipating downstream effects, and making careful tradeoffs that protect data quality.
