Senior Software Engineer (Full-stack)

Hello, we’re Knoetic (<-rhymes with “poetic” 😊) and we've raised over $50MM from EQT, Menlo, Accel, and 100s of angels (like Adam Grant) to shape the future of people analytics by building a “new brain” for Chief People Officers. Here’s how!
When these two sides come together, CPOs and their People Teams get a holistic view of what drives their people to come, stay, and feel valued at work. We’re building a platform unlike any other.
That’s where you come in!
We’re building a diverse team of people who can thrive in our culture. If you're motivated to improve the work lives of millions of people as part of a deeply curious, ambitious, and collaborative team, we'd love for you to join us on this ride!
