About Novi Connect

Brands work tirelessly to get the visibility they need into their raw materials. Retailers have tried for years to create cohesive standards around their SKUs. And chemical manufacturers are always playing catch-up with ever-changing regulatory policies. All the while, consumers’ demands are evolving and starting to set the pace for product innovation.

Novi is here to clear that all up. We believe that everyone deserves to know what goes into products. This is why we created the first data-driven marketplace for product development. We’re a female-founded company building a diverse team of data scientists, technologists, retail experts, and chemists. We’re also Veterans, ex-rangers, running-enthusiasts, plane-flying welders, and hobby farmers bringing experience from companies like Target, Eventbrite, Beautycounter, and more. And we’re passionate about creating a product that will change the way you develop yours.

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.
