Responsibilities

  • Improve and own the system architecture, including data ingestion, entity resolution, enrichment, scoring models, and storage.
  • Build integrations and automations via APIs, webhooks, and tools like Zapier/Make to keep data clean and business systems in sync.
  • We partner with operators who want to step into leadership, take responsibility for great companies, and continue the work that founders spent decades building.
  • When we succeed, communities keep their employers, families keep their livelihoods, and operators get the chance to build wealth through real ownership.
  • generational businesses that deserve to thrive, and talented operators who deserve the chance to lead them.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related technical field
  • 8+ years of software and/or data engineering experience, with demonstrated depth in GTM-oriented work.

  • To do this well, we need a team that reflects the real world: operators, builders, investors, and problem-solvers from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
  • And while we measure our success in deals closed and businesses grown, the real reward is seeing these companies continue to serve their people and their towns, stronger than before.
  • Where else do you get the opportunity to help someone become a CEO, preserve a founder's life's work, and strengthen a community, all in the same job?
  • That's what makes our work both serious and incredibly fulfilling.
