Sigma Ratings (“Sigma”) is an MIT-incubated and venture-backed global data and analytics firm that helps clients better manage risk that may impact credit, credibility and reputation. Sigma’s unique products leverage deep domain expertise to convert the world’s data into actionable insight that powers decision-making at global financial institutions, corporates and governments.

Sigma’s core values are collaboration, curiosity, and integrity. Working in a complex domain with a small, fully distributed team requires us to actively work together, embrace learning, and hold ourselves accountable to each other.

We believe engineers do their best work when they have interesting problems to solve with a smart, kind team. Our engineers value pragmatism and sharing.

We share ownership, knowledge, rewards, and pain because we are a team and teams build together.
