We're well-funded by top VCs and are growing our team.

You’ll be a key contributor, helping bring our privacy-focused data ecosystem to life.

Get in on the ground floor (2nd hire) of a new B2B, data-heavy venture.

We're looking for someone with hard-earned street smarts, and can help establish an outstanding working relationship between engineers (me for now!) and our subject matter expert (a 30+ year lawyer). Experience in finance, legal and data viz are a plus. A fruitful previous working relationship with DataSci professionals is a mega plus.

We've got a good support network for both funding and advisors, all with legit unicorn-level chops.
