Jobs at Premise

Premise is building a novel information-gathering network on a global scale. The network harnesses the explosion in mobile technology, combined with sophisticated machine learning capabilities, to aggregate observations from users all around the world to deliver business, economic and human development data in real-time. We are growing the platform to sufficient scale where it will deliver any user-observable information on demand, whether that is the price of food staples at a Mumbai street market, or the length of a queue at a Walmart de México parking lot. We’re a fast-growing startup -- bolstered by the backing of significant ‘smart money,’ but still young enough such that you’ll be a core member of the team that is reinventing how the human race understands its own economic activity. We’re being helped in our mission by Silicon Valley’s most creative and disruptive investors: Social+Capital Partnership, Google Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz and Harrison Metal. Bottom line, this is an opportunity for someone who (1) wants to build something meaningful at a fast-growing and mission-driven startup, (2) wants to contribute to the amazing, messy evolution of the open-source ecosystem, and (3) actually cares about social good enough to make Premise a permanent part of their resume.
