What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer position at Economic Mind?
About us
We’re Economic Mind, a tech startup revolutionizing market intelligence through a bottom-up model of the world economy. We are on a mission to "Illuminate the business world" by providing deep insight into any market in the world.
Founded in late 2023, we’re a team of 11 ambitious builders backed by some of the strongest investors in Europe, with USD 3m raised last fall. We’re moving fast, working hard, and aiming high, building something that could fundamentally change how business decisions are made.
About the product
In short, we help users understand what's happening in any given market: its size, growth rate, and key players. Want to know how big the market for sustainable seaweed farming is in Japan? Or which companies manufacture high-end electric snowmobiles in Norway? To answer these questions, we use AI and advanced algorithms to analyze millions of companies. We break each company down to understand all business activities and operations. By aggregating this information, we can build a clear picture of any market.
Today, these kind of insights are hard to obtain. Data sources are fragmented, unreliable, expensive or simply unavailable. We want to make it more accessible, reliable, and transparent, so that our users can make more informed decisions, faster.
We already have numerous users obtaining value from our product, including leading consulting firms, private equity firms, and investment banks. We work closely with our users, regularly testing and iterating our solutions based on their feedback to ensure we're building something that truly solves their needs.
