Hello, We're Built In

Built In is the first to give companies the ability to manage how they appear in this new search landscape.

We already reach millions of tech professionals each month, and our 1,800+ customers from breakout startups to Fortune 100 giants partner with us to tell authentic stories about their cultures and attract top talent.

Now, with our new AI-powered reputation platform, we're helping companies future-proof their employer brand and win in the era of intelligent search.

What We Value

We're revolutionizing tech recruitment. So we question everything, because the best answers sit just to the right of a question mark. That's our heritage as a disruptive company as a company whose future depends on our capacity to innovate with a sense of drive, purpose and urgency. If you join Built In, you will work from this set of values:

• Be Inclusive, Always . We're committed to a culture where all people are respected, have a say and can be their whole selves. We will uplift and advocate for one another. Always.
• Be Unreasonably Passionate. Our passion is borderline obsessive, and we're ok with that. No one ever built anything great on a "meh." We work with outsized passion to fulfill our mission.
• Be Humble. You don't have all the answers. Luckily, you don't have to. Don't worry about being right. Be humble instead.
• Stay Curious. Curiosity is a springboard to the future. It can transform the wisp of an idea into a breakthrough. We ask "what if." We work with wonder. It's how we innovate.
• Lead with Solutions. Question everything. But offer solutions as you do. Raise issues. But propose a few answers. For every hole you poke, offer a way to patch it up.
• Own the Result. We have no time for blame or shame. When you stumble, own it, learn from it + get back to business.
• Do More. Do more than your job description. Take initiative. Take charge. No job is beneath you, and no job is too big. Be a leader and do more do whatever it takes.

Be Inclusive, Always

Research shows that women and other marginalized groups tend to apply to roles only when they check every point on a job description. We encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of qualifications and this role is aligned with your career trajectory.
