About The Role
Novi is building a data platform to help brands and formulators understand their products and ingredients, and a marketplace to help them purchase transparent and more sustainable ingredients from suppliers. This industry we're tackling is fragmented and complicated, so we are looking for someone who is excited by the challenge of turning complex requirements into simple, elegant, and robust products.
We're a small, early-stage company and work in an environment of quick iteration as we learn. As a product and engineering led company, we're looking for a Software Engineer who is excited to be an integral part of the entire development process, from conception to production.
