Senior Software Engineer

What we do?

At GoodFit, we help our customers unlock their next stages of growth with highly actionable & relevant data. Without a need to speed thousands of hours on manual research, B2B companies use GoodFit\’s data engine to identify their next opportunities, understand their customers & generate demand.

Our platform takes data from hundreds of sources across the internet, and combines it into a real-time and constantly updated view of each opportunity our clients monitor. We process a lot of data to do this, and utilise best-in-class data processing technologies to do this at scale, robustly and efficiently.

We have a great market opportunity, and we are working with many of the highest growth B2B companies out there. In order to keep up with demand, and accelerate development of the platform, we are expanding our core engineering team.
