What the job involves

RocketReach is in a period of rapid growth and we are looking for a Software Engineer II, Backend to join our growing Core Data team! As a software engineer, you will get to work on critical customer-facing product features that scale for our 21M+ users and our dataset of 700 million professionals across 35 million companies
This is a position on the Core Data team, responsible for owning mission-critical applications end-to-end. You will work collaboratively with the team to create, maintain, and improve the quality of our data and enterprise API products

Our take

RocketReach is one of the world’s most popular professional email, phone and social media directories. Its tech scrapes data from public sources – company websites, phone directories, and social and professional networking sites – to compile contact information for hundreds of millions of professionals around the world.

The appeal of a database like RocketReach is powerful. Paying subscribers can access direct contact information for just about any professional to generate leads, boost sales, refine marketing efforts, and aid recruitment.

Since launching in 2015, the company has grown to have well above 16 million users, with many of the world’s biggest companies – Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft – amongst its business customers.

There have been some complaints and column inches, and indeed at least one class action lawsuit, surrounding how RocketReach harvests and sells personal data without direct consent. However, provided it operates within international data regulations, the company's service remains extremely popular with its customers and should continue to grow.
