The posting

About Us:

YipitData is the leading market research and analytics firm for the disruptive economy and most recently raised $475M from The Carlyle Group at a valuation of over $1B. Every day, our proprietary technology analyzes billions of alternative data points to uncover actionable insights across sectors like software, AI, cloud, e-commerce, ridesharing, and payments.

Our data and research teams transform raw data into strategic intelligence, delivering accurate, timely, and deeply contextualized analysis that our customers—ranging from the world’s top investment funds to Fortune 500 companies—depend on to drive high-stakes decisions. From sourcing and licensing novel datasets to rigorous analysis and expert narrative framing, our teams ensure clients get not just data, but clarity and confidence.

We operate globally with offices in the US (NYC, Austin, Miami, Mountain View) APAC (Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Singapore), and India. Our award-winning, people-centric culture—recognized by Inc. as a Best Workplace for three consecutive years—emphasizes transparency, ownership, and continuous mastery.

What It’s Like to Work at YipitData:

YipitData isn’t a place for coasting—it’s a launchpad for ambitious, impact-driven professionals. From day one, you’ll take the lead on meaningful work, accelerate your growth, and gain exposure that shapes careers.

Why Top Talent Chooses YipitData:

  • Ownership That Matters: You’ll lead high-impact projects with real business outcomes
  • Rapid Growth: We compress years of learning into months
  • Merit Over Titles: Trust and responsibility are earned through execution, not tenure
  • Velocity with Purpose: We move fast, support each other, and aim high—always with purpose and intention

Who Thrives Here?

We hire sprinters, not coasters—people who:

  • Choose growth over comfort
  • Lead through challenges
  • Are energized by high expectations

It’s not for everyone, and that’s intentional. If your ambition is matched by your work ethic—and you're hungry for a place where growth, impact, and ownership are the norm—YipitData might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

We are hiring 2 senior software engineers (alternative title: senior backend engineer). One will join our Infrastructure Team, and the other will join our Data Feeds Team.

As Our Senior Software Engineer in the Infrastructure Team, You Will be Responsible for:

  • ERP Data Connector Specialist: You'll be the one implementing connectors to fetch ERP data. It's like building a bridge to a treasure trove of information. And not just that, you've got to ensure this data has high availability. So, whether it's the crack of dawn or the dead of night, the ERP data should be accessible without a hitch.
  • Backend API Master: Customers' requirements are constantly evolving, and that's where you come in. You'll be implementing or upgrading backend APIs to fit these new demands like a custom-made glove. Your work will be the driving force behind our ability to keep up with the market.

As Our Senior Software Engineer in the Data Feeds Team, You Will be Responsible for:

  • Data Pipelines Maestro: You'll be responsible for developing, optimizing, and maintaining super-scalable data pipelines. Whether it's structured data flowing like a well-oiled stream or unstructured data that needs taming, you've got to make sure these pipelines are top-notch for seamless processing.
  • Data Systems Guardian: Existing data systems and services. You bet you'll be the one maintaining and enhancing their stability, reliability, and ensuring high availability. Think of yourself as the shield that keeps our data world running smoothly.
  • Data Architecture Builder: Team up with our amazing crew to construct and refine an expandable, high-performance data architecture. It's like building a digital skyscraper, but with data blocks!
  • Data Services Provider: Partner with different teams across the board. Your mission is to serve up high-quality, rock-solid data services to all our internal users. They'll be relying on you like a lifeline for their data needs.
  • Business-Aligned Data Designer: Get the hang of product and business requirements. Then, design and implement data functionalities that are not only useful but also come with super- intuitive data visualizations. Make data come alive!
  • Third-Party Data Integrator: Oversee the integration and maintenance of collaborative data with our third-party clients. Solve their data mining and analytical headaches, and you'll be the hero of the data realm.
  • Global Team Player: Work hand-in-glove with our US/SG/China teams. Be flexible with work hours as the data world never sleeps, and we need you to be on top of your game, always!
  • Data Governance Enforcer: Enforce the best practices in data governance, security, and compliance. You're the gatekeeper of sensitive information, and you've got to keep it safe at all costs.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
